Nassau County Emergency Management:
As of 11:00 AM, June 23, 2020, FDOH Nassau has six new confirmed cases of COVID-19.
1) 40 year old female who had contact with a confirmed case and no travel-related exposure
2) 23 year old male who had contact with a confirmed case and no travel-related exposure
3) 63 year old female who had contact with a confirmed case and unknown travel-related exposure
4) 26 year old female who had contact with a confirmed case and no travel-related exposure
5) 19 year old female who had unknown contact with a confirmed case and unknown travel-related exposure
6) 68 year old male who had no known contact with a confirmed case and had travel-related exposure
The Health Department is conducting case investigation and contact tracing on these cases. The individuals will remain in isolation until released by public health. This brings the total case count to date to 126 for Nassau County (118 residents, 8 non-FL residents).
As of today’s date, one COVID patient is hospitalized and 77 of 118 positive residents have been released from isolation.
Zip-Code 32034 is showing 55 Coronavirus cases.
The Community Dashboard, developed by the scientist allegedly fired for not altering the data to suit Fl DOH, shows very different, higher numbers of positive cases of the virus (141 to the official 126). https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7572b118dc3c48d885d1c643c195314e/
Can you clarify the detail that 77 of 118 have been released from isolation, please? Does that mean that 77 of 118 Nassau residents are considered to have recovered from COVID-19? If so, can we include that detail up front in these reports, if it means there are actually 41 active cases? Otherwise the report implies daily that zero have recovered and the number of active cases only goes up, which I find difficult to believe. Thank you.
