From staff reports and the Florida Department of Health
The Florida Department of Health (FL-DOH) reported the following new positive COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths statewide for the weekend, as well as data for Orange County, and the Apopka zip codes. There is also new data on pediatric cases (those under the age of 18), as well as nursing homes and assisted living facilities:
New people who tested positive: 15,299*
New hospitalizations: 248
New deaths: 45
New people who tested positive: 12,624
New hospitalizations: 227
New deaths: 35
This brings the statewide total of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 to 285,435 as reported today, with total deaths standing at 4,381.
* Saturday's number of new people who tested positive for COVID-19 set a record daily high for anywhere in the nation, to date.
However, while Saturday's number of new positives was a record-setter, it was also one of the highest days for the number of tests that were administered, which was 142,981 tests reported for Saturday. Sunday's number for tests reported was 110,737.
This means that 11.25% of people that were tested for COVID-19 tested positive, as reported for Saturday, and 11.4% of people that were tested for COVID-19 tested positive, as reported for Sunday. The state's goal is to be at 10% or under for positive test results. While there was a record number of positive cases reported for Saturday, the positivity rate has dropped, getting closer to the state's overall goal.
For pediatric patients statewide - children and teens under the age of 18 - the total who have tested positive for COVID-19 sits at 17,073, out of 54,022 children tested overall. This gives a positivity rate of 31% of children tested have resulted in positive test results for having the virus. There have been 213 hospitalizations and a total of four deaths, to date. This is the latest report on pediatric patients as of July 10, 2020.

New people who tested positive: 924
* Saturday's number of 1,355 new COVID-19 positive cases is the record high in the last month for Orange County, with the previous record at 1,165 on June 12.
This brings the Orange County total of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 to 18,937 as reported today, with a total of 564 people who have been hospitalized due to COVID-19, and total deaths currently at 83.
For pediatric patients in Orange County - children and teens under the age of 18 - the total who have tested positive for COVID-19 sits at 908, out of 3,794 children tested overall in Orange County.
