Case numbers have declined significantly since mid-July, which is when experts say our cases peaked.

“The county is right now in very good shape,” Orange County Health Officer Dr. Raul Pino said.

Central Florida was the first region in our state to see a decline from the July peak, and our numbers now look comparable to what they were in early June.

On Monday, the state reported 1,885 new cases, with a positivity rate of 5.5% if you calculated it including only new cases, and 8% if you include retests. The last time the region saw numbers like this was in mid-June.

“We’ve got enough people doing the right things,” epidemiologist Jason Salemi said. “They’re wearing masks, they’re social distancing and we’re now reaping the benefits of those actions.”

But the question remains: Will people keep doing the right thing, especially with Labor Day weekend coming up.

“Even though it’s a holiday weekend, I think there’s a nice balance between having fun: Be around people, but do it in outdoor settings,” Salemi said. “Practice social distancing, wear masks when need be, avoid those indoor environments.”

So far, just over 623,000 Floridians have been infected with COVID-19 statewide. That’s 2.9% of the nearly 21.5 million people in the state.
