Florida Ranked Among Least Safe States

According to a new survey by WalletHub, Florida is among the least safe states and is among those states with the highest hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19.

"Some states are already safer than others, though, based on how well they have kept the pandemic under control and how much they are vaccinating. In order to find out the safest states during the COVID-19 pandemic, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across five key metrics. Our data set includes the rates of COVID-19 transmission, positive testing, hospitalizations and death, as well as the share of the eligible population getting vaccinated."
