ORLANDO, Fla. – Following the first weekend Florida was under a stay-at-home order, coronavirus cases saw a smaller increase from Sunday night into Monday morning, reaching a new total of 13,324, according to the latest numbers from the Florida Department of Health.
For the last week cases of the highly contagious illness have jumped by nearly 1,000 almost daily. On Sunday, Florida saw about half that increase, however, as more testing sites open around the state that number is expected to jump in the coming weeks.
UCF and Aventus BioLabs opened a drive-thru site on campus Monday that can test up to 250 people per day. Officials in Volusia County announced Monday two drive-thru testing sites are coming to the area.
