Florida reported 1,882 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday along with 10 more residents’ deaths.

Florida is up to 700,564 confirmed cases, 14,032 resident deaths and 170 non-resident deaths from COVID-19. At least 43,533 hospitalizations have been attributed to the novel coronavirus since the start of the outbreak, according to the state health department’s dashboard.

Florida’s statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 4.08%. The 14-day average is 4.46% and the 7-day is 4.61%.

On Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis lifted restrictions on restaurants and other businesses in Florida. Local leaders can still impose restrictions, although they are not allowed to limit restaurants to reopen at less than 50% capacity

The announcement came as President Donald Trump praised DeSantis for the lowering of coronavirus infections during a campaign visit to the state.

On a very positive note, there were no new coronavirus-related deaths confirmed over the past 24 hours in Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe or Palm Beach counties.

Earlier this week, the United States passed 200,000 deaths as a result of the pandemic, according to Johns Hopkins University.
