Florida remains one of the few states to not release data on its daily COVID-19 hospitalization rate.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ignored questions about when he would release the data, the Miami Herald reported.

The Florida Department of Health reported 7,361 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the rate of positive tests spiking to over 19 .

The surge has been linked to DeSantis' early decision to reopen bars, restaurants, and other indoor facilities.
