Coronavirus-related hospitalizations in Volusia County and statewide are again beginning to climb, according to state data.
In Volusia County, the number of hospitalizations has spiked sharply. The increase comes weeks after hundreds of thousands of bikers descended on Daytona Beach and the surrounding area during the 10-day Bike Week that ended in mid-March. Among those who attended Bike Week: a maskless Gov. Ron DeSantis, who drank a beer with Bikers on the last Friday of the event.
Few people wore masks during the event, and despite efforts to limit congestion inside businesses on Main Street, bikers partied in crowded quarters. Two weeks after that event, the area saw a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases.
