St. Pete’s Covid numbers climb slightly; mayor reminds residents to stay vigilant

October 8, 2020 - With a 3.8 percent positivity rate in Wednesday's overnight Covid-19 data and a 4 percent positivity rate Thursday, St. Petersburg mayor Rick Kriseman speculated in a tweet that the city may be seeing the "beginning of the impact of less restrictions, school, etc." While the city's rolling two-week average remains at 3.1 percent, the mayor urged residents not to become complacent. "We will remain focused here in St. Pete," he wrote. "If we want to see the numbers go down to where they were, we need to be vigilant in wearing our masks and maintaining distance, especially when indoors."
