ORLANDO, Fla. – The number of coronavirus cases in Florida is up yet again, this time to 216. Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the 24 additional cases Tuesday evening during a news conference.
Earlier in the day, numbers from the Florida Department of Health that included Florida residents diagnosed in Florida, Florida residents diagnosed out of state and non-Florida residents diagnosed in the state put the total at 192.
Of the 216, 195 are Florida residents -- six of whom are being isolated out of state -- and 21 are non-Florida residents who were diagnosed while visiting the Sunshine State.
That number also includes the seven Floridians who have died and those who have since tested negative for the respiratory illness.
