Florida Reports New Record with Over 15,000 New Coronavirus Cases

VOA News

   The U.S. state of Florida set a new record, reporting over 15,000 new
   confirmed cases of COVID-19 in one day Sunday.

   The number by far beat previous records of single-day increases in a
   U.S. state. The previous record was seen in California on Wednesday
   when the state recorded 11,694 new cases.

   Florida now has nearly 270,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and has seen
   4,346 deaths. The state had eased lockdown restrictions in recent
   weeks, including theme park Disney World opening its doors to guests in
   masks Saturday, despite recommendations by health experts to avoid
   gathering in crowds.
