Florida reported 10,870 more COVID-19 cases Thursday, the highest single-day increase in the state since July 25.
Another 98 resident deaths were also confirmed.
The state is now up to 1,029,030 total confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 18,874 resident deaths, according to the department of health.
Florida has also reported that at least 238 non-resident deaths have occurred here, and there have been at least 55,820 hospitalizations attributed to the novel coronavirus since the start of the outbreak.
The statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 8.19%. The 14-day average positivity rate is 7.5% and the 7-day average is 7.95%.
Deaths confirmed in the past day include 14 in Broward County, eight in Miami-Dade County and 10 in Palm Beach County.
Miami-Dade (2,254 cases) made up over 20% of the new cases reported Thursday. At last check, fewer than 20% of the ICU beds were available in Miami-Dade; just over 23% in Broward.
The state this week received guidance from the White House coronavirus task force recommending that many residents assume they are infected if they gathered for Thanksgiving outside their home.
And, on Wednesday, Florida updated its report on COVID-19 in schools, showing that more than 1,000 primary and secondary schools in South Florida have reported infections over the past three months.
Gov. Ron DeSantis says he believes the first coronavirus vaccine approvals in the United States will come next week, and he is encouraging Floridians to take the vaccine when it is available to them.
