The missing 559 COVID-19 cases related to elementary, middle and high schools in Florida.

Hundreds of students and staffers contracted the novel coronavirus despite the precautionary measures. The Florida Department of Health published a report last month showing 559 COVID-19 cases related to elementary, middle and high schools logged from Aug. 10 to 23. State health officials quickly retracted the report, saying it was a draft and “inadvertently made available.”

The information blackout came a week after the state department said it accidentally published its own school-related COVID-19 case report.

The state report, which noted 559 new COVID-19 cases related to elementary, middle and high schools within a two week period (from Aug. 10 to Aug. 23) — including 24 cases in Duval County — was retracted after the Times-Union reported on it, noting inconsistencies and discrepancies. The state report did not list cases by school, but rather the county a person who tested positive resides in. The state said the report was in draft form and was published inadvertently.

Yesterday's stats showed there had been 529 deaths since the keeping of daily tolls
was begun. Today's figure is 528. Obviously someone came back from the dead.
