coronavirus testing

The last time the statewide daily increase in infections was over 5,000 — not counting days where there were data issues — was September 1.

The number of new cases reported Saturday in the greater Tampa Bay region – 957 – also was the first time since Aug. 15 that the total of new cases in the area surpassed 900.

Assisted living facilities are slated to get 100,000 kits to test staff and visitors, and 180,000 are going to retirement communities, including Sun City Center.

Testing will be at no cost to farmers, farmworkers and family members, with Hillsborough and Miami-Dade counties as initial participants.
