The COVID-19 virus has rebounded in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, with statewide and national data showing an increase in new cases, as well. The number of new cases has been rising steadily throughout the month of July. According to data from the Florida Department of Health, Hillsborough County saw new COVID-19 cases rise by 21.4 percent (682 new cases) for the week of July 14-20, amid a 17 percent (9,942 new cases) rise in cases for Florida as a whole. Although reported testing levels are relatively low in Florida, wastewater surveillance has proved to be a useful metric for determining where the virus is increasing within counties. Recent data from BioBot shows COVID levels in Hillsborough County's water have more than doubled since June, with an even greater increase in Pinellas County.
