BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — The most current graph of emergency department visits for influenza-like “illness” is not showing a decline over the past several weeks.

The graph above, released by the Florida Department of Health, is current through the week starting May 17th — that data should be accurate through May 24th.

It shows a steady line with no decrease. The next graph released in a week will include data from the first two full weeks of “phase one” reopening.

Florida Health Officials have also now released the “percent positive” rate for May 24th in Palm Beach County. It’s 5.05-percent. The five day percent positive rate in Palm Beach County is now 5.56 percent.
