上午11:12:纽约卫生官员调查高中毕业时可能传播
据州长安德鲁·科莫办公室透露，纽约卫生部将在威彻斯特县的一个高中毕业典礼上调查一个潜在的COVID-19病毒传播。
州长办公室说，参加仪式的五个人被检测出病毒呈阳性。第一个检测呈阳性的人是最近去过佛罗里达的人。
其他四人随后与该人接触，随后检测呈阳性。州长办公室说，一个最近去过佛罗里达的人参加了仪式，然后开始出现症状。那个人随后被检测出病毒呈阳性。
库莫在一份声明中表示:“我们准备进行积极的检测和接触追踪，以减缓并最终控制任何潜在的新病例群，比如在威彻斯特县的病例群。”。
他还表示，他正在发布一项行政命令，规定任何自愿前往高风险州的纽约员工都没有资格享受带薪病假所带来的COVID保护。
毕业典礼是为霍勒斯·格里利高中举行的，是6月20日的免下车仪式。
州长办公室说，所有检测呈阳性的人都是自我隔离的。
然而，其中一名测试呈阳性的人也参加了6月20日的“野外之夜”活动，参加活动的还有来自周边学区的大三学生和大四学生。
科莫的办公室建议任何参加那次活动或任何与毕业相关的活动的人被隔离，并在那里呆到7月5日。

上午7:02:马里兰大学联合创始人的测试结果呈阳性
这位组织集会向州长拉里·霍根施压以解除该州家庭暴力令的“重开马里兰州”的联合创始人表示，他的COVID-19检测呈阳性。
前共和党大会候选人蒂姆·沃尔特斯(Tim Walters)说，他干咳了几个月，但最近情况恶化了。他说，然后他开始感到极度的头痛，发烧，一只眼睛无法集中注意力，导致眩晕。
一个名为“重开马里兰”的组织聚集在一起，抗议马里兰州州长拉里·霍根为阻止新型冠状病毒的传播而实施的限制。
53岁的糖尿病患者沃尔特斯患有小中风，他说他周一去了急诊室，被诊断出感染了病毒。
“几个月前，我没有在集会、教堂等场合戴面具，所以这件事的反复无常很有趣，”他在脸书视频中说。
沃尔特斯说，他不打算向卫生官员提供他在接触者追踪项目中有过密切接触的人。

上午5:40:HHS“积极工作”于小组测试的想法
美国卫生与公众服务部周五晚上向美国广播公司证实，该机构正在推动“集中”检测的想法，即官员们从大型群体中收集样本，并立即进行检测，以确定是否需要进行单独检测。
白宫冠状病毒特别工作组正积极讨论在地方一级推广它作为一种监控工具。主要原因是因为很多人携带病毒而没有症状。
HHS在对美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说:“HHS正积极地与许多合作者合作，以验证池化技术，从而使它能被普遍地用作一种技术。”。
HHS负责协调检测的助理部长布雷特·吉罗尔说:“集中是一种公共卫生监督策略，在这种策略下，来自不止一个人的样本被‘集中’在同一个检测中。”。“根据疾病的潜在流行程度，这可能非常有益。例如，如果将五个样本合并到一个测试中，而该测试为阴性，则所有五个人都为阴性。”
全国最高传染病专家安东尼·福西博士说，周五可能需要进行测试集中，因为目前的接触者追踪测试策略并未奏效。
Fauci说，对COVID-19进行接触追踪的一个问题是，没有症状的人太多了，这意味着如果他们没有症状，你就不能识别他们。Fauci还说，由于许多人不信任政府，人们不回复追踪联系电话。
凌晨4点53分:迈阿密海滩即将关闭
随着佛罗里达州冠状病毒病例的持续增加，迈阿密戴德县宣布将在7月4日假日周末关闭所有海滩。

市长说，在最近的高峰中，特别令人担忧的是该地区年轻人的住院率更高。
吉梅内斯在周五的一份声明中说:“随着我们继续看到年轻人中COVID-19阳性检测结果的增多和住院人数的上升，我决定，要遏制最近的上升趋势，唯一明智的做法是打击那些让我们整个社区处于更高风险的娱乐活动。”。

在他的命令中，市长还禁止任何超过50人的集会，并关闭所有公园和海滩以限制观看烟花。他说，烟花表演必须在家中或停放的车辆上观看。
吉梅内斯上周五表示:“在我们成功压制了COVID-19曲线后，我们不能回头让医院超负荷运转，让我们的医生和护士面临更多急诊室病例的更大风险。”。"每个人都必须尽自己的职责，遵守规则。"
佛罗里达州是美国最近发现COVID-19诊断病例显著增加的几个州之一。根据佛罗里达卫生部的新数据，周五其冠状病毒阳性率跃升至13%。

New York's Department of Health will investigate a potential COVID-19 spread at a high school graduation ceremony in Westchester County, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office.
Five people who attended the ceremony have tested positive for the virus, the governor's office said. The first person to test positive was someone who had recently traveled to Florida.
The four others then had contact with that person and subsequently tested positive. A person who had recently traveled to Florida attended the ceremony and then began showing symptoms, the governor's office said. That person then tested positive for the virus.
"We're prepared to do the aggressive testing and contact tracing required to slow and ultimately control any potential clusters of new cases like the one in Westchester County," Cuomo said in a statement.
He also said he was issuing an executive order that says any New York employee who voluntarily travels to a high-risk state will not be eligible for the COVID protections created under paid sick leave.
The graduation was for Horace Greeley High School and was a drive-in ceremony on June 20.
All the individuals who have tested positive are self-isolating, the governor's office said.
However, one of the people who tested positive also attended a "Field Night" event on June 20, which was also attended by juniors and seniors and students from surrounding school districts.
Cuomo's office recommended anyone who attended that event or any events associated with graduation go into quarantine and remain there until July 5.

7:02 a.m.: Reopen Maryland co-founder tests positive
The co-founder of ReOpen Maryland, who organized rallies to pressure Gov. Larry Hogan to lift the state's stay-at-home order, said he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Tim Walters, a former Republican candidate for the General Assembly, said that he had a dry cough for months but it recently worsened. He said he then began to experience an excruciating headache, a fever and the inability to focus with one of his eyes, which led to vertigo.
A group called "Reopen Maryland" gather to protest the restrictions imposed by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Walters, 53, a diabetic who has had mini-strokes, said he went to an emergency room Monday and was diagnosed with the virus.
“Here I am months after not wearing a mask at rallies, churches and so on, and so it’s funny how capricious this thing is,” he said in a Facebook video.
Walters said he doesn't plan to provide health officials with the people he's had close contact with for the contact tracing program.
A group called "Reopen Maryland" say the pledge of allegiance as they gather to protest the restrictions imposed by Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus.
5:40 a.m.: HHS 'actively working' on the idea of group testing
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to ABC News Friday night that the agency is pushing the idea of “pooling” tests, which is when officials pull together samples from large groups and test them at once to see if individual testing is needed.
The White House coronavirus task force is actively talking about trying to push it at the local level as a surveillance tool. The primary reason is because so many people are carrying the virus without symptoms.
“HHS is actively working with a number of collaborators to validate pooling so that it can be used generally as a technique,” HHS said in a statement to ABC News.
“Pooling is a public health surveillance strategy in which samples from more than one person are 'pooled' in the same test," Adm. Brett Giroir, an assistant secretary of HHS put in charge of coordinating testing, said. "Depending on the underlying prevalence of the disease, this can be extremely beneficial. For example, if five samples are pooled into a single test, and the test is negative, then all five individuals are negative."
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, said Friday test pooling might be needed because the current testing strategy of contact tracing hasn't been working.
One issue with contact tracing for COVID-19, Fauci said, is that there are too many asymptomatic people, which means you can't identify them if they don't have symptoms. Fauci also said since many people don't trust the government, people are not answering contact tracing calls.
4:53 a.m.: Miami set to close beaches
As the number of coronavirus cases in the state of Florida continues to increase, Miami-Dade County announced that it's closing all beaches for the July 4 holiday weekend.
Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced he will be signing an executive order Saturday to close all beaches starting July 3 through at least July 7, though he said that could be extended "if conditions do not improve and people do not follow New Normal rules requiring masks to be worn always inside commercial establishments and outdoors when social distancing of at least 6 feet is not possible."
Particularly worrisome in the recent spikes, the mayor said, is the area is seeing a higher hospitalization rate with its younger population.
"As we continue to see more COVID-19 positive test results among young adults and rising hospitalizations, I have decided that the only prudent thing to do to tamp down this recent uptick is to crack down on recreational activities that put our overall community at higher risk," Gimenez said in a statement Friday.
People gather on the beach in Miami Beach, Florida on June 16, 2020. - Florida is reporting record daily totals of new coronavirus cases, but you'd never know it looking at the Sunshine State's increasingly busy beaches and hotels.
In his order, the mayor is also banning any gatherings of more than 50 people and is closing all parks and beaches to limit fireworks viewing. He said fireworks displays must be viewed from one’s home or parked vehicle.
"After all the success we have had tamping down the COVID-19 curve, we cannot turn back and overload our hospitals, putting our doctors and nurses at greater risk with more emergency room cases," Gimenez said Friday. "Everyone must do their part and follow the rules."
Florida is one of several states across the U.S. to recently see a significant increase in diagnosed cases of COVID-19. Its coronavirus positivity rate jumped to 13% Friday, according to new numbers from the Florida Department of Health.
Florida has more than 122,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19, with at least 3,366 deaths.
