*“Hospitalizations” in the statewide and Santa Rosa County totals is a count of all laboratory confirmed cases in which an inpatient hospitalization occurred at any time during the course of illness. Most of these people are longer be hospitalized. The FDOH does not provide a count of patients currently hospitalized. The Escambia County number is current data compiled each day from the local hospitals.

**On cases by location, the city is based upon zip code and is not always received as part of the initial notification. There may be a delay in reporting locations, and locations will not total the daily case increase as a result.

***The Florida Department of Health does not have a clear standard or definition of “recovered” and does not report a number of recovered individuals. Escambia County is reporting an approximate recovery number defined as the total cases prior to last month, minus deaths. In other words, anyone that tested positive more than a month ago is presumed to have recovered by Escambia County.

    Come on people! I sat last night waiting to go into a convenience store here once everyone in there left. Not one person as I watched about 30 people go in and out wore a mask. Folks that’s worse than ignorance. That’s just insanity. One of the foremost disease experts today said we know absolutely enough to say if everyone would just wear an n95 mask when they were indoors around others for the next 4 weeks we could end this pandemic with that alone. Is Pensacola and the surrounding area a majority of uninformed or mentally deficient people? I think so. And next time you have your surgery just tell the surgeon and others in the operating room “ it’s not necessary to wear a mask. I’ll be just fine with that. No point in wearing those uncomfortable things.” Sheesh!
