Florida positive test rates by day.
As of Sat, Aug 22. The state noted the 11.9% on Aug 11 was due to a lab that submitted backlogged results.

The ongoing technical problems with the electronic system for gathering and analyzing COVID-19 infection rates affect the state’s ability to track the spread of the virus and could be resulting in significant undercounts of infections across the state.
That was on vivid display Tuesday when the state’s top public health official acknowledged that Gov. Gavin Newsom had inadvertently provided flawed information on Monday that showed a steep decline — 21.2% — in the state’s seven-day average for infections.

Percentages will be adjusted after today. These are the test results received in the last two weeks from midnight to 11:59 p.m. each day. Duplicate positive tests from the same person count the first time only.
