New cases were reported in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties from Saturday to Sunday. Pinellas County now has 456 cases and 14 deaths. Pasco County has 160 cases and three deaths. Hillsborough has 759 cases and 17 deaths, including one marked “non-FL resident." Statewide, there are 19,918 COVID-19 cases and 474 people have died of the virus.
About 11 percent of the more than 183,000 coronavirus tests in the state have come back positive. The number of pending tests doesn’t account for those coming from private labs, which make up 90 percent of coronavirus testing.
The state’s death count also excludes non-Florida residents, like snowbirds and visitors. Adding in those positive cases could raise the death toll.
