However, the report was incorrect, the CDC combined three days of cases. In response to the report the Florida Department of Health posted the correct data.
“The daily case counts for Florida currently posted on the CDC COVID Tracker are incorrect. The current listing states 28,317. The accurate data are as follows: Friday, August 6: 21,500 Saturday August 7: 19,567 Sunday, August 8: 15,319 The 3 day average: 18,795,” they wrote.

Local media outlets used the CDC’s false report to attack Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:
Wrong again. The number of cases @CDCgov released for Florida today is incorrect. They combined MULTIPLE days into one. We anticipate CDC will correct the record. https://t.co/nbKnBNLzvU

Wrong. @cdcgov combined multiple days of data. We anticipate a correction. Please correct this story to ensure accurate reporting to your audiences. https://t.co/5IIDg0rjq2

The Florida Department of health reminded everyone that the sate reports two or three days of data at a time.
This is not accurate. Florida follows CDC guidelines reporting cases Monday through Friday, other than holidays. Consequently, each Monday or Tuesday, there will be two or three days of data reported at a time. When data is published, it is attributed evenly to the previous days. https://t.co/NjjUmIgM9h
