"&lt;p&gt;Florida health officials have reported 179 new deaths from the coronavirus, bringing the state&amp;apos;s total to more than 7,000.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The latest numbers came Saturday as Hurricane Isaias threatened Florida&amp;apos;s eastern coast, but no evacuations were immediately announced. The National Hurricane Center&amp;apos;s latest prediction had the storm scraping past Florida but not making landfall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hospitalizations for the coronavirus have been declining for the past week and a half, with fewer than 8,000 treated for the coronavirus on Saturday. That&amp;apos;s down from highs of more than 9,500 last week.&lt;/p&gt;"
