3 FHP members test positive for COVID-19. One works in Miami-Dade, Monroe
Three Florida Highway Patrol employees have tested positive for COVID-19, FHP said Tuesday.
The three FHP members worked in Troops E, L and I.
The employee who worked in Troop E covered Miami-Dade and Monroe counties. Troop L covers Broward, Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties. Troop I enforces commercial vehicles in North Florida, meaning the trooper who tested positive could work in any of the 34 counties the troop oversees.
FHP notified those who may have been in contact with the three positive patients.
As of Tuesday morning, Florida had more than 6,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to the Florida Department of Health.
