Florida’s weekly COVID update: 10,095 cases and 290 deaths reported

The Florida Department of Health on Friday announced 10,095 new resident cases of COVID-19 and 290 deaths since June 11.

The state has recorded a known total of at least 2,354,416 coronavirus cases and 38,299 deaths since the pandemic began last winter.

These totals do not represent non-Florida resident cases and deaths — people who either contracted the disease or died from it while being in Florida — as the state stopped reporting those metrics in late May. At that time, there were 744 additional non-resident deaths and 43,535 non-resident cases, cumulatively.

The state’s 7-day percent positivity rate decreased from 3.4% to 3.3%. The 7-day case average for Florida decreased from about 1,636 to 1,442.

The health department is no longer reporting daily case numbers, just weekly cumulative counts.

More than 8.9 million Floridians have completed the two-dose series of Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna or have completed Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose vaccine. Another 1.8 million have completed their first vaccine dosage, bringing the total number of Floridians who have been fully or partially vaccinated at 10.6 million, or 56 percent of Floridians who are 12 and older.
