Florida Department of Health Updates New COVID-19 Cases, Announces One Hundred Thirty-Four Deaths Related to COVID-19

Test results for more than 77,100 individuals were reported to DOH as of midnight, on Monday, July 20. Today, as reported at 11 a.m., there are:
9,440 new positive COVID-19 cases (9,345 Florida residents and 95 non-Florida residents)
134 Florida resident deaths related to COVID-19
On July 20, 13.62 percent of new cases** tested positive.
There are a total of 369,834 Florida cases*** with 5,206 deaths related to COVID-19.
Since July 20, the death of one hundred thirty-four Florida residents who tested positive for COVID-19 have been reported in Bay, Brevard, Broward, Collier, Dade, Desoto, Duval, Escambia, Gadsden, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Jackson, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Nassau, Okaloosa, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Santa Rosa, Sarasota, Seminole, St. Lucie, Sumter, Suwannee and Volusia counties.
Nassau County Emergency Management:
Nassau EMA fifth Nassau County resident with CoViD-19 has passed away. The patient was a 93-year-old male previously reported as a case. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones during their time of sorrow.
The number of positive cases can only be divided by the number of people tested. You can’t derive any meaningful number by dividing the number of positive cases by the entire population unless the entire population is tested (and they all are sequestered so they can’t get infected after sample collection). Today’s “positivity” result is 14.62% – that is the percentage of positive cases relative to the number of test results received today.
