After two peaks in early and mid-April, the states curve has generally flattened over the last few weeks. In the last 30 days, the state has averaged just under 700 new cases per day. Thats down to a level that the health care system can handle, according to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

The new cases Friday mark the largest single-day number reported duringthe last month.

As Florida continues taking steps to ease restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts saynew cases and more deaths are expected.

Editor's note: The number of new cases and deaths reported each day does not necessarily reflect the day that the case was confirmed. The state says some private testing labs dump large batches of test results which include cases from previous days. Stats for today and previous days will likely change in the future as the state reviewsmore cases and updates retroactive data.

The state's number of deaths represents permanent Florida residents who have died from COVID-19. The number of non-Florida residents who have died from the coronavirus while in the state is not reported.
