ORLANDO, Fla. —
Florida is reporting an increase in confirmed cases of COVID-19 a day after not releasing virus data citing a problem with a private laboratory.
The Florida Department of Health tallied Sunday 3,700 new known cases, the highest daily caseload since late August.
Health officials say they received 400,000 previously reported test results from Helix Laboratory late Friday, and epidemiologists needed to verify the data to avoid duplicating cases.
The state also reported 180 new COVID-19 deaths, but that number reflects two days of data reporting.
