Daily Covid percent positivity rates continue to climb
November 7, 2020 - The Florida Department of Health reported another 180 cases of Covid-19 Saturday but no new deaths, keeping the county’s total at 831 since the start of the pandemic. As of Saturday, the county now has 27,372 positive cases and a rolling two-week positivity rate of 5.6 percent, with an 8.36 percent positivity rate reported on Friday. Five percent is the number that some public health officials say should be a threshold for potential restrictions, although state and federal reopening guidelines cite a 10 percent threshold for imposing restrictions.
