State health officials said more than 11,000 people tested positive for the coronavirus since Saturday's report, which also recorded the deaths of 135 people.

Florida is experiencing a resurgence of coronavirus cases following the holidays. The state is continuing to rely on its vaccination, testing and public education strategies to curb the spread of the virus, even as health experts predict another spike in deaths in the coming weeks.

While COVID-19 related hospitalizations and the state positivity test rate are down, the number of people testing positive was once again above 10,000 and deaths topped 200 for the second time in three days.

The state on Wednesday reported that 17,783 people tested positive for the coronavirus over the previous 24 hours.

The report includes two days of data because the state did not release a report on New Year’s Day.

Long-term care residents and staff members make up about 38% of the reported 21,212 Florida resident deaths since the pandemic started.

There were 7,391 new positive cases across the state, but with the highest positivity rate in nearly two weeks.

The state did not provide data on Christmas Day.

The state reported 11,384 people tested positive for the coronavirus since Tuesday's report, bringing the state total to 1,234,399 cases.

The Florida Department of Health said 10,434 people statewide tested positive for the coronavirus since Monday’s report, including 1,786 people in the greater Tampa Bay region.
