The US state reports 169,106 cumulative Covid-19 cases and 3,617 deaths

Florida’s Covid-19 cases and hospitalisations jumped by the most on record and deaths climbed the most in a month on Thursday, a sign that the state’s outbreak is growing unabated and is leading to more serious clinical consequences.

attributed the rise in cases in part to a more “robust” testing programme, and new cases were among young people who are asymptomatic. The US has reported more than 128,000 coronavirus-related deaths, nearly a quarter of the global total. “Florida has a serious problem at hand,” said Mokdad, adding that more deaths are coming even if necessary policy measures are enacted now.
