Florida announced 107 new deaths from the coronavirus Sunday, including 23 in Hillsborough County and four in Pinellas, bringing the state’s average number of deaths per day to about 182.
An additional 3,779 infections were recorded, bringing the total number in the state to 573,416, according to data from the state Department of Health. That’s about 2,784 per 100,000 residents, or one in every 36 people.
Nearly 200 of the new cases are in Hillsborough. About 120 were recorded in Polk and 70 in Pinellas. Manatee and Pasco had more than 40, and Hernando and Citrus more than 20.
An additional 267 people have been hospitalized with the virus, data shows. Nineteen are in Hillsborough, 15 are in Pinellas and 10 are in Hernando.
How fast is the number of Florida COVID-19 cases growing?
What’s the picture statewide?
Florida’s positivity rate is about 17 percent, according to Johns Hopkins University. That’s more than three times the World Health Organizations recommendation rate of 5 percent or lower, and topped only by Nevada, Idaho, Mississippi, Puerto Rico and Washington. More than 4.2 million tests have been recorded in Florida.
As hospitalizations have trended downward, deaths have been more sporadic, according to data compiled by The Atlantic’s COVID Tracking Project. In the past week, some days saw more than 200 new deaths, while others had less than 100.
There have been 9,587 total deaths statewide since the pandemic’s start in March.
Is Florida’s coronavirus outbreak still growing?

Hillsborough had the most new hospitalizations with 19. Pinellas had 15, Hernando had 10, Pasco and Polk had four each, and Citrus and Manatee had two each.

What’s happening with hospitals?
About 5,700 people were in Florida hospitals with coronavirus as of Sunday morning, according to the Agency for Health Care Administration. About 885 were in the Tampa Bay region.
Fewer and fewer people have been hospitalized with the virus over the last month, easing the strain on hospitals. On Sunday, about 16,000 of the state’s 60,000 hospital beds were available, and about 1,300 of the state’s 6,200 ICU beds were open.
Across counties in Tampa Bay — Citrus, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk — about a quarter of regular beds and 20 percent of ICU beds were available.
Florida coronavirus cases by age group
Doctors say older people are at a greater risk to developing severe symptoms from COVID-19, which makes Florida especially vulnerable.
