[ad_1]

Florida confirmed 10,177 more cases of COVID-19 on Friday, marking two in 10,000 consecutive days.

The 10,870 new cases reported on Thursday were the state’s largest single-day increase since July 25.

Another 120 resident deaths were also confirmed on Friday.

The state now has 1,039,207 total cases of COVID-19 and 18,994 resident deaths, according to the Department of Health.

Florida has also reported that at least 242 non-resident deaths have occurred here and that there have been at least 56,095 hospitalizations attributed to the new coronavirus since the outbreak began.

The statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 7.49%. The 14-day average positivity rate is 7.5% and the 7-day average is 8.1%.

The confirmed deaths in the past day include 20 in Miami-Dade County, four in Broward County and 10 in Palm Beach County.

Led by Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, local leaders and medical experts are urging residents to do all they can to help stop the spread of the virus during this increasingly dangerous time of the pandemic.

This week, the state received advice from the White House Coronavirus Task Force recommending that many residents assume they are infected if they gather for Thanksgiving outside their homes.

Florida updated its report on COVID-19 in schools on Wednesday, showing that more than 1,000 elementary and high schools in South Florida have reported infections in the past three months.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has said he believes the first coronavirus vaccine approvals in the United States will come next week, and he encourages Floridians to take the vaccine when it becomes available.
