BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Brevard County leaders on Monday said the majority of coronavirus cases they’re seeing are not travel related and because of that, they would like to see a local drive-thru COVID-19 testing site established.
As of now, there are 31 cases -- 21 men and 10 women -- in Brevard County. Three of those people traveled from New York and do not live full-time or part-time in the county, Brevard Commission Chair Bryan Lober said.
Aside from those, a “significant portion” of the COVID-19 patients in Brevard did not have a recent travel history that could have caused them to contract the respiratory illness. “There is community transmission of the virus,” Brevard County communications director Don Walker said.
