Take a deeper look at Florida’s updated coronavirus numbers.

South Florida

Testing and positivity

Public health experts say the virus is considered under control when the COVID-19 test positivity rate is under 5%. But since Oct. 29, Florida has exceeded 5% in its widely publicized calculation for assessing the rate for testing of residents.

The state reported a daily positivity rate of % on , from % the day before. This method of calculating positivity counts new infections only, but also counts repeat negative tests, which skews the figure downward.

According to the state, the new reported case numbers reflect the results of COVID-19 tests of Florida residents received from labs in the past day, from results reported the day before.

Palm Beach County: Test results for residents were reported , leading to a daily positivity rate of %. That’s from % the previous day.

Broward County: Test results for residents were reported , leading to a daily positivity rate of %. That’s from % the previous day.

Miami-Dade County: Test results for residents were reported , leading to a daily positivity rate of %. That’s from % the previous day.
