The Florida Department of Health reported 114 new cases of COVID-19 and no additional deaths in Collier County on Monday.

Collier's cumulative case total is 10,448 and its total COVID-19 related deaths remained at 136.

Collier's overall positivity rate increased slightly to 16.53% Monday, second to Dade (19%) among Florida counties with at least 2,900 COVID-19 cases.

While Collier County is 10th among Florida counties in COVID-19 cases, it is only 20th in total tests (63,235). Every other county in the top 10 in cases is among the top nine in total tests. 

One positive trend continued as Colier's seven-day average for new cases remained under 100 for the fourth consecutive day through Sunday at 90.14.

A total of 728 people in Collier County have been hospitalized for COVID-19 as of Friday, according to the report, but that number does not reflect the people currently in the hospital, according to the Florida Department of Health. 

As of approximately 11 a.m. Monday, there were 130 COVID-19 patients being treated in Collier County hospitals, according to data from Florida's Agency for Healthcare Administration. That's four fewer patients since approximately the same time Friday. The county also had 20% of its total hospital beds available and 39.3% of its adult ICU beds available, according to the AHCA. Florida's available percentages were 25.8% (hospital beds) and 20.9% (ICU beds), respectively.
