The City of Miramar is in Reopening Phase II-A, effective September 21, 2020, and is following Broward County Reopening Guidelines.
The information below details Miramar’s daily increase 45-day moving trend, Broward County Positivity Rate 14-day trend, Vernon E. Hargray Youth Enrichment Center (VEHYEC) 45-day trend of administered COVID-19 exams, international, national, state and tri-county positive and death cases as of 11 am today which includes COVID-19 statistics per Miramar zip codes, antibody testing statistics, and Florida County and City statistics, which provides insight on how Miramar is doing in comparison to other localities.
Positivity rates shown below are based on Broward County and Florida State numbers for testing, which include all positive and negative testing results. There are instances where media outlets publicize only Florida resident positivity rates, which can be misleading as this only highlights a segment of the number of persons tested. There are non-resident positive cases that may include those individuals who spend the winter here, students who may attend school here but their permanent address is elsewhere, are here on a work visa or who simply never remembered to change their ID to their current Florida address. The charts below include the entirety of the population tested, to include the aforementioned individuals.
*New case positivity rates shown are based on Broward County residents testing positive for the first time and excludes those who previously tested positive. Values subject to change after the fact as additional results received.
