Florida reports 1,213 more COVID-19 deaths
September 23, 2021
snip
The new metrics show that 53,105 COVID patients have died in Florida since the start of the outbreak, a total that sat at 51,892 a day earlier.
The newly reported deaths did not all happen in the past day and span back weeks. There is a backlog on fatality data, and the state health department — which reports its numbers to the CDC — backdates the fatalities to the day when they happened.
With the latest deaths added, it’s now confirmed that there were more than 9,100 lives lost with COVID-19 in Florida in August, the deadliest month of the pandemic. It amounts to an average of nearly 295 per day.
Nearly 3,700 new deaths have already been assigned to dates in September.
