New cases of the Coronavirus continue to climb in Miami-Dade County. Last week saw 6,755 new cases. That’s the biggest increase since August.
Fortunately, new hospitalizations has remained relatively low in Miami-Dade County with just 87 new cases over the last 7 days. That’s roughly 12 new hospitalizations per day. That’s a pace that will not overwhelm our hospital systems.
