A Message From Your County Health Department:
We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 positivity percentage in Gulf and Franklin. For small counties, it is better to look at weekly trends vs. daily trends to paint a better picture of what is happening. The percent is based on the number of people who test positive in a week divided by all the people tested that week, excluding people who have previously tested positive.
Let’s look at the past two weeks using surveillance data from Floridahealth.gov. We really want to keep the positivity percentage as low as possible. 20.6% is too high. Gulf needs to aim for 10% and then keep moving downward. We are hoping to get both counties below 5%. Gulf and Franklin cases are linked to whole household exposures, some businesses, funeral-related gatherings, and some have been healthcare worker related.
Take a closer look at the data:
