BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2021 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Kinsa’s HealthWeather system has raised the threat level for COVID-19 spread in Palm Beach County. The company, responsible for hundreds of thousands of “connected” thermometers which transmit anonymous health data to the cloud, reports that Palm Beach County is now in the yellow, or “moderate risk” zone. That is an elevation from the low-risk “green” zone of just days ago.

The elevation comes as the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services reports that 1483 adults in Florida are hospitalized with “confirmed and suspected” COVID-19, while 31 children under age 18 are also hospitalized for COVID. 221 adults were admitted for “confirmed” COVID-19 on Thursday, while 10 children under 18 were also admitted.
HHS reports 101 deaths were logged in Florida, on Thursday, from COVID-19.
HHS also reports that just 79 people in Florida are hospitalized with the flu, while 11 people are hospitalized with BOTH COVID and influenza.
