"It won't be long" until hospitals in the greater Miami area hit capacity, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Giménez said Sunday.

The bleak warning came as Florida also reported a record-high level of daily new cases. Tallying more than 15,000 new infections on Sunday, Florida surpassed the nation's previous largest one-day increase in new cases. Miami-Dade County has the most infections and deaths in the state, the Miami Herald reported Saturday.

Public health experts have acknowledged it typically take several days or weeks for hospitalizations and deaths to reflect surges in infections. Giménez, who oversees the hard-hit area of South Florida, said he is already seeing increases in hospital activity.

There's been a "sharp increase in the number of people going to the hospital, the number of people that are in ICU, and the number of people on our ventilators," the Republican mayor said in a Sunday interview on CNN's "State of the Union."
