COVID-19 hospitalizations in Florida dip below 2,300

Tallahassee, Florida – According to data posted Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the number of inpatients with COVID-19 in Florida hospitals has dropped below 2,300.

The data showed that 2,254 inpatients were reported as having COVID-19, down from 2,323 on Tuesday.

Florida has seen steady decreases in hospitalizations in September and October after the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus caused a surge in cases this summer.
