THE VILLAGES, Fla. – Almost a fifth of Florida’s new positive coronavirus cases are in Central Florida. The recent rise in cases prompted Dr.
Sanjay Shah at Premier Medical Associates to remind everyone about precautions that should be taken. "Be safe, wear a mask, be safe for your fellow man," he said.
Shah sees firsthand the rise in daily positive cases for coronavirus over the past month in The Villages, which is located in three counties: Sumter County, Lake County and Marion County.
From June 12 to June 18, Lake County recorded 228 new positive coronavirus cases. One month later, Lake County recorded 828 new positive coronavirus cases from July 10 through July 16.
