Data Resources for Positive COVID-19 Cases

In an effort to increase awareness of available data at the county level regarding positive COVID-19 cases, the following are two publicly available resources, one updated weekly and the other updated daily: 

Florida Department of Health:  Positive COVID-19 cases can be found every Friday afternoon at floridahealthcovid19.gov. Scroll down to “Weekly Florida COVID-19 Data” to download the PDF report. Monroe-county is found on page 5 of the PDF. Vaccination data is also available.  

CDC: COVID-19 data can be found at: covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker. Select “Florida” and then “Monroe County.”  This is updated every day at 8 pm.  Data includes the level of community transmission, cases, vaccinations, deaths, hospital utilization, and more.

Monroe County Emergency Management

  • Monroe County Emergency Management activated its EOC to Level 2 Partial Activation and began meeting regularly on March 17, 2020.
