In its 1:27 pm update, the Florida Department of Health released a list of long-term care facilities in Florida associated with COVID-19 cases with active cases in each facility in order to provide real-time data. Unfortunately, none of the information for facilities in Escambia County had been updated since 2:47 p.m. on Monday, April 27.
The state also provided a report detailing surveillance data for every Florida county -Â here. Unfortunately it is dated April 27 10 a.m.
Some much for robust reporting and “real-time data.” Â The closer we get to reopening the economy, the less reliable the data.
