Greetings neighbors, this is the Miami Corona Project Daily Update for Sunday, April12th, 2020:

As of yesterday, April 11th, 2020, there have been 6,754 positive cases of coronavirus across the county, with 523 hospitalizations and 95 deaths.

The Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation has updated the total number of employees that have tested positive for coronavirus to 40. This is especially troubling as this is only a statistic referencing department employees that have tested positive, not including any of the prison population that have the virus.

In Opa-Locka, 4 more Amazon warehouse workers tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the total number of positive cases at this warehouse to at least six. 

Across the United States, the national total of positive cases has grown to 530,384. Unfortunately, today our country overtook Italy as the nation with the most deaths from coronavirus, the total number of those fallen rising to 20,513.

Let’s hope today brings better news.  I’ll update you tomorrow.
