Each day, the Florida Department of Public Health’s COVID 19 site posts the number of cases in each county, and in its “state report” (near the bottom left of the Department’s COVID home page), the Department lists cases both by city/community and county. I agree that looking just at the Sumter County cases is misleading because they include over 100 inmates in Bushnell.
As the original poster said, we’ve had a recent spike in TV. The Department’s “state report“ showed our TV cases had been stuck for a month at 62 in TV in Sumter and 7 in TV in Lake (Pine Ridge etc.). In the past few days, we’ve jumped up to 68 in TV in Sumter and 9 in TV in Lake. We still have a very low percentage of cases in a TV population of over 120,000, but the TV spike worries me. Statewide cases are spiking too.
Google “Fl coronavirus”:and you can find the FL Department of Public Health’s COVID 19 site. Lots of good info there, including testing numbers. This FL site was praised at one of the White House briefings.
