Florida’s hospitals show signs that coronavirus may be waning. For now, at least

Along with fewer hospitalizations, visits to hospitals’ emergency department for COVID-like symptoms have been declining in Florida. Visits plunged since the first week of July — from 16,000 visits on July 5 to 5,000 on Aug. 2. In Broward County, emergency department visits dropped from 1,414 on July 5 to 521 on Aug. 2.
