The White House COVID-19 Data Director released new information Wednesday on where Florida stands during the coronavirus pandemic.

This is data Spectrum News has requested from Gov. Ron DeSantis' office for months, but it has been slow to release it.

The Biden administration plans to release new information for every state, every week.

COVID-19 State Profile Report - Florida
Updated January 27, 2021

Data Provided by: White House COVID-19 Team, Joint Coordination Cell, Data Strategy and Execution Workgroup

The State Profile Report (SPR) is generated by the Data Strategy and Execution Workgroup in the Joint Coordination Cell, under the White House COVID-19 Team. It is managed by an interagency team with representatives from multiple agencies and offices (including the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, and the Indian Health Service). The COVID-19 State Profile Report provides easily interpretable information on key indicators for a given state. It is a daily snapshot in time that:
- Focuses on recent COVID-19 outcomes in the last seven days and changes relative to the week prior
- Provides additional contextual information at the county and state levels
- Supports rapid visual interpretation of results with color thresholds*

Data in this report may differ from data on state and local websites. This may be due to differences in how data were reported (e.g., date specimen obtained, or date reported for cases) or how the metrics are calculated.

Thanks! I always like a new report. As a reminder, almost all reports generated at the federal level are behind because they rely on local sources to feed them the information. The most timely sources about what is going on in your area is your local news and officials. If you do not trust them, drive around. Drive by your local hospitals to see if there are any lines forming, tents outside, morgue trucks parked....sad...but this is the real way to gauge the happenings in your area.
