1 in 91 residents on the LaBelle side of the county have been infected and 1 in 41 on the Clewiston side, the higher Clewiston infections due in part with the high number of agricultural workers living or working in close quarters and not able to implement physical distancing. Three out of four Hendry county cases are Hispanic.

Department of Health Positive Test Numbers
The Florida Department of Health test numbers changed starting May 5, to now include, as stated in the fine print of it's websites, "all tests" compared to the number of people who test positive for the first time. But many health care workers and others each take multiple tests. FDOH totals now include multiple or re-tests of the same individuals. Previous to May 5, re-tests and duplicate tests to the same individual were counted only once.
Because of this accounting of testing, the DOH positive rates post lower percentages of infection by counting all the multiple tests on the same people. The actual infection percentage is almost twice as high as the FDOH says, when counting only each person tested.
