Hillsborough County, which includes Tampa, has 225 cases. Orange County, which includes Orlando, has 268 cases.

Fifteen Florida counties still had no cases at all as of Sunday, which is one reason cited by the governor as to why he has not issued a stay-at-home order for the entire state. Suwannee County reported its first case Friday while Washington County reported its first case Thursday night. Hendry County reported its first case Saturday night.

Wakulla County and Glades County both reported their first cases Sunday night.
