More than 7 million people vaccinated in Florida, COVID-19 cases steadily rise
COVID-19 cases are on an upward trend in Florida.
Within the last week, 37,864 new cases have been reported, which is a 6.37% increase.
Health officials have been working daily to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Data from the Florida Health Department shows as of Saturday, 7,103,884 people have now been vaccinated for the virus.
Orange County Mayor Jerry Demmings recognizes the progress being made in Central Florida and around the state.
“We’re excited about the distribution of vaccine, but the coronavirus still very much alive,” he said.
Thousands of vaccines are distributed daily at pharmacies, grocery stores and other vaccination sites, but COVID-19 cases are steadily rising.
Alan Harris, Emergency Manager with Seminole County says the increase in cases was anticipated.
“Spring break just happened. We all saw pictures of what was going on spring break,” Harris said. “We anticipated that there would be an increase in [COVID-19] cases as people went and partied and had a good time.”
Harris also attributes the rise in the cases to people who aren’t fully vaccinated.
“It’s the younger individuals that just became eligible, haven’t had the vaccine yet. So hopefully those people will start to get vaccinated before summer,” he said.
Harris said whether we see a decrease in cases depends on how many people get the vaccine. Adding, the demand for the shot is on a downward trend.
“Right now, we are especially focused on our young people,” Demmings said.
Central Florida Health Officials say the largest increase in COVID-19 cases falls within the 18 to 25-year-old age group.
Now, they are encouraging that demographic to get vaccinated.
“I don’t think it’s hesitancy, people are busy and if it doesn’t meet their time [they say], ‘eh I’ll wait a couple more weeks,’” Harris said.
Harris says now they are tasked with making it easier for students and other young people to get the vaccine.
He says the only way we can protect each other from the virus is by wearing face coverings and getting the vaccine.

Storm Drains need to be kept clean
It is the time of the year that there are leaves falling. We need to keep our storm drains clear and not let them fill with leaves. The obstruction creates a standing water issue when it can't flow freely into the stormdrains. Please clean up leaves from the curb in front of your house and especially from the area around stormdrains.
Also please be aware that according to Federal, State and Local regulations, no pollutants can be allowed to enter the stormdrain. If you or your landscaper force yard waste into the stormdrain, you are in violation.
If you see someone dumping into a stormdrain, please anomalously report it at this Seminole County website shown below or call Lake Mary Code Enforcement at (407) 585-1365.
Community Crime Watch
There have been recent reports of crimes in our community. Homeowners should watch out for suspicious or unusual behavior and be vigilant in reporting any unusual activity to the police.
Recently a car was stolen from the driveway of a homeowner during the night. Always make sure your car doors are locked when your car is parked and that you have removed valuables. You should use a car alarm. You may also consider having an ignition kill switch installed that only you will know where it is located. This will hopefully cause enough of a burden to the thief to stop your car from being stolen.
A homeowners has reported that in the early morning hours someone was knocking on a door yelling “I'm hurt let me in”. When the homeowner stated that they were calling the police, the person ran off. This was an attempt to gain entry to the home and the owner would have been in grave danger if they had opened the door. You should never open your door to someone that you don't know and always keep all of your doors and windows locked and secured.
Home bulgaries have also been reported. You should consider installing motion activated lights on the exterior of your home. Lights are the best deterrent to crime.
