It remains unclear how many people have gotten better since initially testing positive as the state does not provide recovery data.
More than 403,000 tests have been taken in Florida since early March, according to the health department. The vast majority (91 percent) of those results have come back negative. Another 561 were inconclusive and 1,207 more are still pending.
The latest data comes as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepares to reopen retail stores, restaurants and state parks on Monday as part of the first phase of his plan to revive the state economy.
Appearing Friday at Little Talbot State Park in Duval County to announce his decision to reopen state parks, DeSantis encouraged Floridians to go outside while complying with social distancing guidelines.
“People can go out, they can get sunlight, they can get fresh air,” he said. “It’s good for peace of mind.”
