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

The number of new cases in Florida went up slightly yesterday.

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.

We have now included the city of Palm Bay in this list of cases.

Local:

  • Sebastian: 8 cases
  • Fellsmere: 1 case

  • Micco: 0 cases
  • Vero Beach: 58 cases
