According to the FL Covid web site, the percentages are calculated based on new positives and not people who previously tested positive.
Quote "These counts include the number of people for whom the department received PCR or antigen laboratory results by day. This percent is the number of people who test positive for the first time divided by all the people tested that day, excluding people who have previously tested positive." Unquote.
