After several days with no COVID-19-related deaths, four deaths were reported in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties on Tuesday.

Two deaths were reported in Escambia County, bringing the total since the pandemic began to 200, including 12 non-residents. Two deaths were also reported in Santa Rosa County, bringing the total to 57.

Of all deaths in both counties, 99 are connected to long-term care centers, including 89 in Escambia County and 10 in Santa Rosa County.

Due to delays in reporting, figures from the state's daily report do not necessarily reflect when a person died or became infected with the virus, but rather when their case was verified by the state.

There also was a slight uptick in new positive cases in both counties, but Florida officials reported that increases were expected after Quest Diagnostics dropped accumulated data into the database. 

Escambia County increased 73 new positive cases, to reach a cumulative total of 11,256 cases since the start of the pandemic, while Santa Rosa County recorded another 43 cases for a total of 4,714.

The median age of positive coronavirus cases was 39 in Escambia County and 40 in Santa Rosa County as of Sunday.

To date, 13% of the 78,860 peopled tested in Escambia County and 14% of the 32,389 people tested in Santa Rosa County have been positive for COVID-19.
