Coronavirus: Florida reports 5,570 new cases Sunday after missing a day due to inaccurate data dump

Florida reported an increase of 5,570 cases of COVID-19 on Sunday after failing to report any updated numbers on Saturday.

According to the Florida Department of Health, “a data dump of previously reported lab results prevented the reporting system from normal processing of lab results on Oct 9, causing an inaccurate representation of data for Oct 9 and 10.”

Sunday’s report confirmed 178 additional residents’ deaths. On Wednesday, Florida hit a milestone passing 15,000 fatalities when including non-residents who died here.

Florida is now up to 734,491 confirmed cases and 15,364 resident deaths from COVID-19 that occurred here, according to the health department’s dashboard.

At least 45,924 hospitalizations have been attributed to the novel coronavirus since the start of the outbreak with 309 new hospitalizations reported since Friday.

The statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 3.47%, according to the health department. The 14-day average positivity is 4.59% and the 7-day is 4.75%.

The increased death toll includes 30 from Miami-Dade County, 12 from Broward, and 21 from Palm Beach County.

Miami-Dade officials have announced the first confirmed case for a public school student since schools reopened this week.

Florida’s health department has also released a second batch of data on COVID-19 infections at Florida schools statewide.
