As of Friday morning, Florida was one of three states accounting for 40% of all new COVID-19 infections.
Despite the rapid rise in numbers, Gov. Ron DeSantis is vowing not to issue any COVID-19 mandates or lockdowns.
A new mobile vaccine clinic will open on Friday at Orlando police headquarters.
DeSantis said that despite the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, lockdowns or statewide mask mandates will not be happening in Florida.
He says he believes he's successfully handling the COVID-19 situation without them.
The state is averaging about 6,500 cases per day.
That number has nearly doubled in just one week and quadrupled in just one month.
The governor says he believes the uptick is seasonal, but many doctors disagree.
They say the difference now is the far more contagious delta variant.
