BREAKING Florida’s coronavirus cases jumped 50% this week, the state Health Department reported, continuing a six-week surge that has made it the nation's outbreak's epicenter. More than 110,000 new virus cases were reported statewide in the past week.

Signage stands at the ready in case COVID-19 testing at Barnett Park reaches capacity, as cars wait in line in Orlando, Fla., Thursday, July 29, 2021. The line stretched through the park for more than a mile out to West Colonial Drive near the Central Florida Fairgrounds. Orange County is under a state of emergency as coronavirus infections skyrocket in Central Florida. The Barnett Park site is testing 1,000 people a day and has closed early in recent days due capacity limits.

More than 110,000 new coronavirus cases were reported statewide over the past week, up from 73,000 last week and 11 times the 10,000 reported the week of June 11, six weeks ago. Case numbers are now back to where they in January, just before vaccinations became widely available.The Florida Hospital Association also said Friday that statewide COVID-19 hospitalizations are nearing last year’s peak.

DeSantis said barring mask mandates at schools will improve students’ experience and make it easier for them to focus on learning. DeSantis’ decision came after the Broward County school board voted to require masks and other districts and colleges across the state were considering it. “Gov. DeSantis continues to think that Tallahassee knows best what all Floridians need,” union President Andrew Spar said in a statement. “We reject that kind of thinking. Instead, we ask Gov. DeSantis to allow all Florida’s citizens to have a voice by empowering the elected leaders of cities, counties and school districts to make health and safety decisions locally.”

“It feels like we are getting hit by a train, the pace is so fast and uncontrolled,” Laskshmi said. “I just don’t have any words anymore. This is awful, just awful and it is going to be awful.”
