Florida has now verified 1,676,171 COVID-19 cases since the outbreak began and 25,833 resident deaths, according to the health department.

Another 416 non-residents died in the state and there were at least 71,155 resident hospitalizations attributed to the new coronavirus in Florida since the outbreak began.

The deaths verified the other day include nine in Miami-Dade County, 12 in Broward County, one in Monroe County and 14 in Palm Beach County.
