Close to one-third of all coronavirus cases in the state of Florida since the start of the pandemic have come in just the last week, with the state nearing 10,000 total cases on Saturday alone.
As the New York Post noted, the state hit a new one-day high on Saturday with 9,585 reported cases, breaking the record that had been set just one day before with 8,942 total cases. After being among the latests states to mandate social distancing and require public places to close — and then becoming one of the first to begin reopening as well — the Sunshine State has seen a dramatic spike in cases over the last week.
“In just over a week, Florida has reported nearly 40,000 new cases, which accounts for about a third of all the confirmed cases in the state since the pandemic began,” the Miami Herald noted.
