TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami) - The number of Florida hospital patients with COVID-19 has inched above 1,400.
According to data posted Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 1,406 inpatients had COVID-19, up from 1,382 on Tuesday and 1,351 on Monday.
The data also showed that 252 COVID-19 patients were in intensive-care units, down from 260 on Tuesday.
