Current Covid-19 cases among Florida long-term care residents jumped to 1,868, the most since the pandemic began.
That’s a one-day increase of 76 from a day earlier, according to a report released Tuesday by the Florida Department of Health. The numbers are up by 293 since Friday, when the state last published them. They include residents of assisted-living centers and nursing homes, who are among the most at risk of dying from the infection.
