Covid-19 hospitalizations in Florida have increased by 79% since July 4, according to data obtained from the state’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).
On July 4, the state recorded 5,022 Covid-19 patients in Florida, the AHCA data shows. On Saturday, AHCA reported 8,974 Covid-19 patients in the hospital, a 79% increase since Independence Day.
Saturday's figure reflects a decrease in 241 patients since Friday, when the number of patients in hospitals Friday was 9,215, AHCA data shows.
According to AHCA, the agency began collecting the data on July 4; but had only made public hospitalization data as of July 10.
Health care system under strain: Fifty hospitals in Florida have reached intensive care unit capacity and show no ICU beds available, according to AHCA data.
Eight of the hospitals at capacity are in Miami-Dade County and six of them are in Broward County, AHCA data shows.
Another 42 hospitals have 10% or less ICU capacity available, according to AHCA.
To note: Florida’s hospitalization data only includes patients for which Covid-19 is the primary reason for admission and care, according to AHCA.
Therefore, patients who are already at the hospital for other procedures and have tested positive for coronavirus are excluded from the state total.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin arrived on Capitol Hill Saturday afternoon for talks on a new coronavirus stimulus bill.
The White House and Senate Republicans are trying to hammer out their differences over a proposal expected to be unveiled next week after an unexpected delay.
Meadows is meeting with the chief of staff of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a source with direct knowledge of the meeting told CNN. The meeting is more of a check-in because there are a number of items the various parties still need to agree on, the source said.
The primary hold up, two sources told CNN, was differences over the extension of the federal unemployment enhancement, specifically how Republicans would implement their changes to the $600-a-week program that expires July 31.
Both sides are also still going over the legislative text of agreed-upon pieces, which Meadows acknowledged is a time-consuming process.
Some context: McConnell said in remarks on the Senate floor late Thursday that the Trump administration asked for more time to review the plan and that it should be out "early next week."
"The administration has requested additional time to review the fine details, but we will be laying down this proposal early next week," he said.
McConnell said that key GOP senators who have helped craft the package will introduce component pieces of the bill on Monday.
