Ken Suarez reports
LAKELAND, Fla. - If you think that COVID-19 is almost over, think again. There has been a spike in cases in Polk County that is following a national trend. We have seen a steady rise over the last few weeks, explained Dr. Hal Escowitz of Lakeland Regional Medical Center. It has been fairly dramatic and unfortunate.
As a matter of fact, over the three weeks in Polk, the number of cases has doubled. It is surprising to us, said Escowitz. I know a few weeks ago everyone felt the dust was clearing a little bit.

LAKELAND, Fla. - A 17-year-old girl living at a boarding school for girls in Lakeland complained of stomach issues for nearly a month – but was denied professional medical treatment – before she died in May of 2020, according to reports by the Polk County medical examiner and the Florida Department of Children and Families.
The ME ruled the girl s death as natural, but a recently released report from Florida’s DCF calls into question the practices at the faith-based Lakeland Girls Academy for girls who have been deemed to have issues ranging from defiance to substance abuse.
