Health officials in Florida on Wednesday reported 13,871 new cases of coronavirus and another 137 deaths.

According to the health department, the state has now confirmed 1,306,123 cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic and killed 21,546 residents.

Florida has also reported that at least 311 deaths have occurred outside the country, and that since the outbreak began, at least 62,508 hospitalizations in the state have been attributed to the new coronavirus.

The nationwide positivity rate was 8.72% on Tuesday.

The deaths confirmed since yesterday include five in Miami-Dade County, 10 in Broward County and eight in Palm Beach County.

The focus of attention, although the spotlight still shines on coronavirus cases, has shifted to the vaccine in Florida. In Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, a new phase in the COVID-19 vaccination has begun in South Florida with long queues waiting for those who meet the requirements. Systems were overloaded with requests on Wednesday, and one local hospital system, Broward Health, reported that it was no longer possible to make new appointments until February.

Meanwhile, concerns are growing about the new variant of the coronavirus.
