For the past week, Florida coronavirus cases have consistently grown by about 1,000 every day but cases aren’t doubling like they were last month, according to the Florida Department of Health dashboard tracking cases in the state.
On Monday, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Scott Rivkees said that while this is good, residents need to continue to maintain social distancing and staying at home, now more than ever.
By Monday, Florida has surpassed 20,601 coronavirus cases in the state, including more than 470 dead. Rivkees said numbers have plateaued because as health officials administer around the same amount of tests daily, that number should stabilize.
