12 states have set record highs in new COVID-19 cases since Friday
A dozen states have seen record highs of new COVID-19 cases since Friday, an ABC News analysis has found.
The states that saw the increase were Florida, Texas, Utah, South Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, Missouri, Montana, Arizona, California, Tennessee and Oklahoma, according to the analysis of state-released data compiled by the COVID Tracking Project.
Florida's three-day streak of record-breaking numbers ended on Saturday, with 4,049 new cases of COVID-19.
On Saturday, Gov. Ron DeSantis attributed the rise in the state's positive cases to an increase in testing. During a news briefing, he said that the state was in a "much better position today than we were at the beginning of April," pointing to an increase in hospital beds and a decreasing mortality rate.
