More Floridians are currently hospitalized with COVID-19 than at any point in the pandemic: more than 12,400 patients across the sunshine state.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Nearly 2,500 Floridians are severely ill with COVID-19. That means 38 percent of all intensive care unit beds in Florida have COVID-19 patients.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a roundtable with hospital CEOs Wednesday. He emphasized that breakthrough cases, where people who are fully vaccinated still get COVID-19, are rare and hospitalizations are even rarer.
