Despite record COVID-19 hospitalizations, Florida'''s governor says '''admissions have slowed'''

While the Orlando Sentinel reported that the “number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in Florida rose to an all-time high of 11,515 patients in one day, according to data the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released Tuesday,” it did not say they were all residents of Florida.

Each year, Florida gets millions of visitors. Visitflorida.org estimated that almost 80 million tourists came to Florida last year, and in past years visitors have exceeded 100 million. So, a reasonable assumption can be made that a percentage of hospitalizations are tourists.
