Here are updates about coronavirus cases in Brevard, according to the Florida Department of Health, as of Aug. 1, 2020.
Brevard broke a five-day streak and registered coronavirus cases in the triple digits. The county saw one new coronavirus death and 101 cases, according to data from the Florida Department of Health.
The latest death recorded Saturday was an 89-year-old male. It is not known whether his case was travel-related. He did have contact with a known case, and his case was confirmed July 18.
This comes on the day before Hurricane Isaias was set to make landfall on Florida's east coast. COVID-19 testing sites were temporarily closed to prepare for the Category 1 storm.
The last time Brevard recorded more than 100 cases was on July 27.
In five days, FDOH data show Brevard recorded 50 new deaths due to the virus with one Saturday, six deaths Friday, 13 on Thursday, 10 on Wednesday and 20 on Tuesday.
It's important to note the exact dates of these deaths are not made public by the Department of Health; it's unlikely all 50 people died in this four-day period. Often there is a lag between the person's death and when it is reported by the DOH.
In total, Brevard has lost 115 people to the virus, with 57 of those deaths connected to long-term care facilities, and 97 deaths reported in July. Victims ranged in age from 48 to 103.
