Hillsborough dengue cases reach 134, Florida total hits 152

Hillsborough County has reported 134 dengue cases, and Florida’s statewide total is 152.

The reported counts

The Hillsborough County figure represents most of the cases included in the statewide total. The difference between the two figures is 18 cases reported elsewhere in Florida.

The counts describe reported dengue cases. They do not, by themselves, show when each case was reported, where outside Hillsborough County the other cases occurred or whether the statewide total will change.

Why the numbers matter

The county and statewide totals provide a snapshot of reported dengue cases in Florida. Because Hillsborough County accounts for 134 of the 152 cases, changes to the county count would affect the statewide total as well.

Residents seeking current public-health guidance should follow updates from the relevant health authorities. The reported figures may be updated as cases are recorded or revised.

What comes next

The next public updates will show whether the county and statewide counts change. Any new figures should be compared with the prior totals to determine how the reported case count has moved.
