The Florida Health Department on Monday disputed the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) release of COVID-19 case numbers, claiming that the agency rolled multiple days worth of data into one day to make it appear Florida is reporting a record number of cases per day.
Responding to a tweet from the Florida Sun-Sentinel newspaper asserting that Florida “hit yet another record” for COVID-19 cases, the state Department of Health said it was incorrect reporting. The paper, citing the CDC, claimed the state saw 28,000 new cases on Sunday.
