Afternoon update, April 1, 2021
Indian River County verified 33 new COVID-19 cases Thursday, according to the Florida Department of Health county report. This raises the total amount of county cases to 11,738, while the death toll remained at 282.
The new cases contradict Wednesday’s update, which showed the county had 11,729 total cases. That means there would have only been nine verified cases in Thursday’s update for the number to increase to 11,738.
A health official was not immediately available to explain the discrepancy.
The numbers in the reports are provisional and subject to change. Health officials said 117 out of the 282 Indian River County deaths were at long-term care facilities.
