MAP: County-by-county Florida coronavirus cases
Florida saw its largest-ever single-day jump in cases on Sunday, when 903 more cases were confirmed. Gov. Ron DeSantis said Monday that was, in part, due to people traveling from the New York City area and from international locations.
Southeast Florida remains the state's hotspot for cases, prompting the governor to issue a safer-at-home order for Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties.
