The number of Covid-19 cases in Florida has risen by 9,300 to 423,855 - making it the second worst-hit state in the US, just behind California with 448,497 infections.

It has overtaken New York, now in third place with 415,827 coronavirus cases. But New York has recorded the most deaths of any US state at more than 32,000, with Florida in eighth place with nearly 6,000 deaths.

On average, Florida has added more than 10,000 cases a day in July while California has been adding 8,300 cases a day and New York has been adding 700 cases.
