Recorded case levels have nearly tripled over the past month. The county could soon once again mandate the use of masks indoors.
The county saw on average 3,300 cases per day in the past week and the county’s transmission rate remains high. The number of people in the hospital with COVID-19 is creeping up, with about 330 patients and seven deaths per day. The county’s test positivity rate rose to 3.5%
“Once we are designated a high community level, we will go back to requiring that everybody put on those masks,” Ferrer warned. The county health order has been in place since April 22, after a federal judge in Florida eliminated the mask mandate on public transportation and airplanes nationwide.
