STILL of a nurse administering a COVID vaccination shotSTORYLINE:Florida's COVID-19 hospitalization numbers are again increasing, ending months of steady decline that began when widespread vaccinations became available and leaving doctors and epidemiologists worried as the more infectious delta variant spreads.The cases are also rising in South Florida. On Tuesday, Jackson Health System, a nonprofit academic medical system, announced that it's upgrading its COVID threat level to 'high' at most of its facilities. "Throughout our hospitals, we have gone from treating 66 COVID positive patients on Tuesday, July 6 to 143 today, that's a 117% increase in just 14 days," Carlos A. Migoya, CEO of Jackson Health System said during a virtual press conference.The health system will also not allow visitation for most inpatient units, Migoya said.Florida now has the fourth-highest per-capita hospitalization rate in the U.S., behind Nevada, Missouri and Arkansas, according to Jason Salemi, a University of South Florida epidemiologist tracking the national outbreak for more than a year.Jackson Health System officials also urged everyone to get vaccinated. In late January, about 180 Floridians were dying per day of the disease, just below the peak of 200 per day last August. Earlier in July, the average was about nine per day, according to the state, a 95% drop. The number of deaths typically increase a few weeks after cases and hospitalizations rise. Almost all COVID deaths and hospitalizations nationally in recent weeks have been among the unvaccinated, officials have said.Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis reiterated that even with the increasing cases, there will be no mandates requiring vaccinations, masks or social distancing.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
