If you've been following coronavirus news coverage, you're becoming familiar with the term, percent positivity, an important benchmark in the eyes of experts and officials trying to gauge the severity of an outbreak in a particular area.
The percent positivity is the percentage of COVID-19 tests that come back positive. Medical experts consider a positivity rate of 5 percent or less as a sign the virus is somewhat contained.
The World Health Organization advised governments that before reopening, rates of positivity in testing should remain at 5 percent or lower for at least 14 days.
Over the last three days, Pinellas County is flirting with that coveted 5 percent positivity rate even reporting 4.9 percent on July 25.
