FLORIDA-—Percent positivity for new cases

Florida reported that 3.75% of those people tested for the first time were positive for covid.
FLORIDA results from all testing-——These counts include the number of people for whom the department received laboratory results by day. People tested on multiple days will be included for each day a new result was received. A person is only counted once for each day they are tested, regardless of whether multiple specimens are tested or multiple results are received. If a person has a positive specimen and a negative specimen in the same day, only the positive result is counted.
Whereas, 6.28% of all tests taken were positive.

Still a little early to be reliable (some places not enough testing) but should be very helpful soon.
