Since the first known COVID-19 case was identified in the U.S. on Jan. 21, 2020, there have been a total of about 85,673,000 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus in the United States — or 26,186 for every 100,000 people.
In Florida, the infection rate is far higher than the national average. Since the first known case of COVID-19 was reported in Florida on Mar. 1, 2020, there have been 6,407,648 total infections confirmed in the state — or 30,084 for every 100,000 people. Of all 50 states and Washington D.C., Florida ranks No. 8 by cumulative COVID-19 cases, adjusted for population.
Just as COVID-19 infections are more concentrated in Florida, so too are deaths. So far, there have been 75,411 COVID-19 related deaths in Florida, or 354 for every 100,000 people. Meanwhile, the national COVID-19 death rate stands at 307 per 100,000 Americans.
Florida implemented strict measures early in the pandemic to help slow the virus’s spread. On April 3, 2020, Florida implemented a temporary statewide stay-at-home order to limit person-to-person contact.
