It seem to be in my county in Florida now, Hillsborough (and also in Manatee)

Hillsborough and Manatee Counties in the Tampa Bay area now have first presumptive cases.

I was planning on voting in the primary election, for which early voting starts tomorrow in Florida. I was going to wait a few days so there would be less people, but I'll have to think about what to do.

These are both presumptive positive, not yet conformed with the CDC:

Tampa is in Hillsborough County. The case in my county was someone who traveled to Italy.

The county south of us is Manatee, also has a case. (Don't know where the case is but a major city in that county is Bradenton) The case there is a case where the person doesn't have a travel history. I don't know if that person was in contact with someone who was known to have it, though these are the first cases in Florida that have been reported.

I don't know any other information yet. Local news reported those details. I don't know if that Manatee County case would be considered from community spread.

It may not be long before this impacts the theme parks in central Florida. Honestly, I figured Orlando might be the first to get it.
