This is an update on coronavirus cases in Indian River County and Brevard County.

Sebastian Mayor Ed Dodd joined us Monday for a live newscast to discuss the parks, boat ramps, and to answer other questions.

Also, state health department officials are not providing us with the number of “recoveries” in Indian River and Brevard counties. We’ve asked for this information repeatedly. This is what they sent us.

“The State Department of Health does not currently measure ‘recovery,’ and doesn’t expect to have such a designation anytime in the near future,” officials said.

  • Malabar: 1 case
