The Florida Department of Health reported 8,401 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday and another 95 resident deaths attributed to the novel coronavirus.

Miami-Dade County’s troublesome trend continued, with another day of reporting more than 2,000 cases.

The state has now reported 1,201,566 coronavirus cases since the pandemic began and 20,568 resident deaths, according to the health department.

Florida has also reported that at least 293 non-resident deaths have occurred here, and there have been at least 59,995 hospitalizations attributed to COVID-19 in the state since the start of the outbreak.

The statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 7.89%.

Deaths confirmed in the past day include 16 in Miami-Dade County, eight in Broward County, three in Palm Beach County and one in Monroe County.

Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis said this was a historic week for our country. The first vaccine shots in the state were given to hospital workers on Monday and Tuesday at South Florida hospitals and at long-term facilities midweek. “Keep hanging in there, more help is on the way,” DeSantis said.

He also announced the distribution locations for the new Moderna vaccine that is expected to arrive in Florida next week.
