NEWS on COVID-19 in Florida: Florida's COVID-19 hospitalizations rising, hospitals prepared

“It's a number we never wanted to reach: 1 million COVID-19 cases. Florida has now become the third state to reach the milestone, behind Texas and California.

Florida added another 8,800 cases Tuesday, putting the Sunshine State over the one million mark, while also adding 82 additional deaths, bringing total resident deaths to more than 18,600.

As case numbers go up, so do hospitalizations. More than 55,000 Floridians have been hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. In recent weeks, Florida's current COVID-19 patient counts have risen by the day.

‘Everybody's watching because certainly, the numbers are going up,’ Justin Senior, CEO of the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida.”

"’Right now, there is still quite a bit of bed capacity in the state,’ Senior said, ‘that includes in the Tampa Bay area, Pinellas County and Hillsborough County, they both have probably 20% to 30% vacancies, and between 15% to 20% vacant ICU beds.’

Hospital workers have gained a lot of experience with the virus, and PPE is no longer in short supply. Still, Senior urges everyone to keep following guidelines to keep stress off of hospitals.”
