"It's extremely well set up," Bluntzer said, adding that no one she knew of had received a positive test result. , according to Florida's Department of Health coronavirus cases map. There are more than 7,800 cases in Miami-Dade County and upwards of 22,000 cases in the state of Florida. In an April 15 press conference, Gov.
