After a higher-than-average number of new cases late last week, Florida's curve again seemed to be flattening. The number of new cases reported over the last six days has averaged less than 800 per day, slightly less than the previous two weeks' average. But Thursday's new-case total was the highest since the state's peak early this month, according to the DOH.

Editor's note: The number of new cases and deaths reported each day does not necessarily reflect the day that the case was confirmed. The state says some private testing labs dump large batches of test results which include cases from previous days. The state's number of deaths represents permanent Florida residents who have died from COVID-19. The number of non-Florida residents who have died from the coronavirus while in the state is not reported.
