SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – The Seminole County director of emergency management says the number of positive COVID-19 cases being reported by the Florida Department of Health is not up to date and that the number of people infected with coronavirus is much higher -- especially in his county.
Alan Harris said he brought it up during a morning conference call with the state Department of Health. “It is not accurate,” Harris said.
Right now, Seminole County is reporting at least six cases: two positive and four presumptive positive cases but the state website only shows four. “The private labs are coming online and as the private labs come online, we’re going to get the numbers faster than Tallahassee,” Harris said.
