Forty-five new fatalities were reported by the Florida Department of Health – 35 in Marion County and 10 in Lake County. It’s unclear how many of those deaths occurred Wednesday or Thursday, as the COVID-19 statistics reported by the Florida Department of Health tend to lag for several days at times.

Those fatalities are among the 1,282 that have been reported in the tri-county area since the virus first hit Florida in March 2020. They are also among the 27,698 in Florida and the 454,272 across the country who have lost their battle with the virus.
For the last seven days, starting Jan 29, the deaths reported in the VN were 36, 3, 13, 23, 3, 12, 45. That doesn't appear to show a trend and it certainly doesn't show that deaths are continuing to rise at a rapid pace.
