63,158 deaths
Florida on Thursday reported 54,994 additional COVID-19 cases and 262 more deaths to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to Miami Herald calculations of CDC data.
The CDC backlogs cases and deaths for Florida on Mondays and Thursdays, when multiple days in the past have their totals changed. In August, Florida began reporting cases and deaths by the “case date” and “death date” rather than the date they were logged into the system.
All but 31 of the newly reported deaths — about 88% — occurred since Dec. 16, according to the Herald analysis. About 66% of the newly reported have died in the past two weeks, the analysis showed.
This is the largest multi-day increase of deaths since Nov. 29, when 391 were reported.
In all, Florida has recorded at least 4,933,518 confirmed COVID cases and 63,081 deaths.
In the past seven days, the state has added 66 deaths and 63,892 cases per day on average, according to Herald calculations.
