As Florida continues to inch towards a full reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic, the number of new cases of the disease continues to climb.
In order to provide viewers with up-to-date information on new cases and fatalities associated with COVID-19, News 6 has used a dashboard created by a data team at the Florida Department of Health daily to show a breakdown of coronavirus cases across the state.
However, Florida Today reported Monday that the initial architect responsible for creating the COVID-19 dashboard — praised by White House health officials for its accessibility — announced that she had been removed from her post, causing an outcry from independent researchers now worried about government censorship.
