Florida confirmed 10,177 more COVID-19 cases Friday, marking two consecutive days over 10,000.
The 10,870 new cases reported Thursday represented the highest single-day increase in the state since July 25.
Another 120 resident deaths were also confirmed Friday.
The state is now up to 1,039,207 total cases of COVID-19 and 18,994 resident deaths, according to the department of health.
Florida has also reported that at least 242 non-resident deaths have occurred here, and there have been at least 56,095 hospitalizations attributed to the novel coronavirus since the start of the outbreak.
The statewide positivity rate from yesterday’s testing was 7.49%. The 14-day average positivity rate is 7.5% and the 7-day average is 8.1%.
Deaths confirmed in the past day include 20 in Miami-Dade County, four in Broward County and 10 in Palm Beach County.
Led by Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, local leaders and medical experts are urging residents to do all they can to help stop the spread of the virus during this increasingly dangerous stretch of the pandemic.
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.
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 said 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.
