Looking at our zip code, we had 42 new cases last week. As you can see in the chart below, it’s still relatively low from the highs of July, but the chart is inching back up. We had a 45% increase in new cases locally over the last 7 days. That puts the total number of COVID-19 cases in zip code 33166 at 1,829 since the start of the pandemic. We estimate Miami Springs has had 1,006 cases of the coronavirus during this pandemic.
