The number of positive COVID-19 cases are climbing in Sebastian and Fellsmere. The coronavirus is still a serious pandemic in Florida and should be taken seriously.

We will talk more about this in today’s Sebastian Daily Newscast on YouTube.

There are 1,046 ICU beds available in Florida.

In South Brevard County, Barefoot Bay now has 7 cases, and Malabar has also jumped to 15.

We also have some new information about the number of patients at local hospitals. The health department and the hospitals are giving us low numbers, but health care workers are telling Sebastian Daily that the number of patients are a lot higher at Cleveland Clinic in Indian River County. We will have an update on this later.

However, we can report that the number of deaths related to COVID-19 is still dropping in Indian River County and Brevard County.
