Florida adds 13,000 COVID-19 cases for second day in a row; resident death toll hits 20,401

MIAMI —Florida’s Department of Health on Friday confirmed 13,000 additional cases of COVID-19, marking the second day in a row that the state’s single-day case count reflects numbers not seen since mid-July.

The state now has 1,181,483 confirmed cases. Also, 96 resident deaths were announced, bringing the statewide resident toll to 20,401.

It is still unclear if there were any new non-resident deaths. On Thursday, the cumulative non-resident toll was 289.

On Thursday, Florida reported 13,148 new cases, the most seen since July 16, when 13,965 cases were added. The state reported more — 17,344 cases — on Nov. 27, but that total included two days of data because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
