On Friday, the Sunshine State reported 31,758 new COVID-19 cases. It topped that on Christmas Day with a report of 32,850 added coronavirus cases, a new record.
The previous single-day highest number of cases was in late August, during the height of the delta variant wave in Florida, when 27,802 cases were reported.
After the holidays, the number of cases could go up even more and hospitals could become loaded with COVID-19 patients.
In other parts of the state, Floridians hoping to get COVID-19 tests waited in long lines, sometimes for hours, on Sunday, the day after many had gathered with friends and relatives for Christmas.
The following sites will reopen Monday, Dec. 27 in Duval County:
- Clanzel T. Brown Community Center
