There were 103,400 COVID-19 tests conducted in the State of Florida on February 2, and out of those, 10,431 came back positive. Of the positive test results, only 6,771 were that of Floridians finding out they had tested positive for the first time.

Data from February 2 shows Florida has now seen less than 10,000 new positive cases in eight of the past 10 days. While a reduction in new cases is a good sign, the positivity rate for February 2 was 10.07-percent, still, over double the 5-percent mark the CDC recommends the state reach before declaring the outbreak under control.

In Tamarac, there were 4,663 positive COVID-19 cases — an increase of 69 positive cases since February 1.

Statewide in Florida, there have been 1,744,619 positive COVID-19 cases to date. The average age to contract COVID-19 in Broward County on February 2 was 40-years-old. For months, the average Floridian to test positive for COVID-19 has hovered between 39 and 40-years-old.

Since the pandemic began, there have been 27,019 deaths to date in Florida due to COVID-19 and a total of 73,266 patients hospitalized due to the virus.
