Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the "Stafford Act"). State, territorial, tribal, and local government entities and certain private non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for Public Assistance. In accordance with section 502 of the Stafford Act, eligible emergency protective measures taken to respond to the COVID-19 emergency at the direction or guidance of public health officials' may be reimbursed under Category B of the agency's Public Assistance program. FEMA will not duplicate assistance provided by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or other federal agencies. Reimbursable activities typically include emergency protective measures such as the activation of State Emergency Operations Centers, National Guard costs, law enforcement and other measures necessary to protect public health and safety. FEMA assistance will be provided at a 75 percent Federal cost share. This declaration increases federal support to HHS in its role as the lead federal agency for the federal government's response to COVID-19. The emergency declaration does not impact measures authorized under other Federal statutes. FEMA assistance will require execution of a FEMA-State/Tribal/Territory Agreement, as appropriate, and execution of an applicable emergency plan. States, tribal and territorial governments do not need to request separate emergency declarations to receive FEMA assistance under this nationwide declaration. FEMA encourages officials to take appropriate actions that are necessary to protect public health and safety pursuant to public health guidance. T FEMA ��rAND 5tiG�4 NEWS RELEASE President Donald J. Trump Directs FEMA Support Under Emergency Declaration for COVID-19 The federal government continues to take aggressive and proactive steps to address the COVID-19 threat as the health and safety of the American people remain a top priority. Today, President Trump declared a nationwide emergency pursuant to Sec. 501(b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the "Stafford Act"). This increases federal support to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in its role as the lead federal agency for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response. As a result of the President's decisive, unprecedented action, FEMA is directed to assist state, local, tribal, territorial governments and other eligible entities with the health and safety actions they take on behalf of the American public. Today's declaration does not make direct financial assistance available to individuals. The emergency declaration does not change measures authorized under other federal statutes and HHS remains the lead federal agency directing the federal response to COVID-19. FEMA actions will be in support of HHS and in coordination with state, tribal and territorial governments. Eligible emergency protective measures taken at the direction or guidance of public health officials in response to this emergency, and not supported by the authorities of another federal agency, will be reimbursed strictly under the FEMA Public Assistance program. FEMA assistance will be provided at a 75 percent Federal cost share. Reimbursable activities typically include emergency protective measures such as the activation of State Emergency Operations Centers, National Guard costs, law enforcement and other measures necessary to protect public health and safety.

March 13, 2020 HEALTH Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation COVID-19 Situation Report # 1 -WqW Ron DeSantis Governor Scott A. Rivkees, MD State Surgeon General The Florida Department of Health in St. Lucie County (FDOH-St. Lucie) is striving to keep our community informed with the most up-to-date information regarding novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In order to achieve this goal, we will distribute weekly situation reports outlining how COVID-19 is behaving in Florida and specifically in St. Lucie County. FDOH-St. Lucie is reinforcing important public health messaging, like symptom monitoring, infection prevention and stopping or slow down the spread of disease, that will help keep you safe in the event that you come into contact with someone with COVID-19 or other viral respiratory pathogens like flu. FDOH-St. Lucie is monitoring the health trends in your community on a daily basis to help identify any possible cases of COVID-19 along with serving as an expert resource for health care providers and the public, and working to make sure that health care providers know what to look for and what to do if they suspect COVID-19 in a patient. What is coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)? Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus that was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. How does COVID-19 spread? The virus that causes COVID-19 probably emerged from an animal source and is now spreading from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It also maybe possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has may have the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Learn what is known about the spread of newly emerged coronaviruses at https://www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019- ncov/about/transmission.html.

Who is most at risk? HEALTH Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation Ron DeSantis Governor Scott A. Rivkees, MD State Surgeon General Older people and people of all ages with severe underlying health conditions, like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example — seem to be at higher risk of developing serious COVID-19 illness. If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 because of your age or because you have a serious long-term health problem, it is extra important for you to take actions to reduce your risk of getting sick with the disease. COVID-19 HOT TOPICS How COVID-19 Spreads The virus is thought to spread mainly from person -to -person. Between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet). Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Can someone spread the virus without being sick? People are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest). Some spread might be possible before people show symptoms; there have been reports of this occurring with this new coronavirus, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. Spread from contact with contaminated surfaces or objects It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads. How easily the virus spreads How easily a virus spreads from person -to -person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (spread easily), like measles, while other viruses do not spread as easily. Another factor is whether the spread is sustained, spreading continually without stopping. The virus that causes COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community ("community spread") in some affected geographic areas. COVID-19 VACCINE Update There is no specific treatment for COVID-19. Currently no vaccine or drug is available for COVID-19.

Three outbreaks were in long -term - care -facilities and three in schools. In addition, five clusters of flu were reported, but did not meet the criteria for an outbreak. o DOH -St. Lucie uses different factors to estimate influenza burden in our community.

Two new influenza -associated pediatric deaths were reported, both in vaccinated individuals with known underlying medical conditions. Twelve influenza -associated pediatric deaths have been reported so far this season; only three children were vaccinated for the 2019-20 season. o Influenza A 2009 (H1 N1) remains the predominant strain. o The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continues to recommend that people who have not yet been vaccinated do so as soon as possible. o It is especially important for people at higher risk for complications (children, adults >_65 years, pregnant women, and people with underlying medical conditions). o On January 10, 2020, CDC issued a health advisory reminding clinicians to reiterate vaccination and antiviral treatment recommendations (emer. ec�ncy.cdc.gov/han/HAN00425.asp). o In addition to getting vaccinated, the Florida Department of Health recommends you take everyday precautions to prevent the spread of influenza and other respiratory viruses: • Wash your hands often with soap and water (if soap is not available, use an alcohol - based sanitizer). • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

Scott A. Rivkees, MD HEALTH State Surgeon General Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation If you do get sick, stay home until fever -free for at least 24 hours (without the use of fever -reducing medication). What You Can Do to Keep Yourself and Your Family Healthy: • Take everyday preventive actions to stay healthy. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. • Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures. Stay informed. CDC's COVID-19 Situation Summary will be updated regularly as information becomes available. COVID-19 Call Center, 1-866-779-6121, the call center is available 24/7, COVID-19@flhealth.gov Rumor Control/Frequently Asked Questions and Answers • Using facemasks to prevent COVID-19: CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory illnesses, including COVID-19. You should only wear a mask if a healthcare professional recommends it. A facemask should be used by people who have COVID-19 and are showing symptoms. This is to protect others from the risk of getting infected. The use of facemasks also is crucial for health workers and other people who are taking care of someone infected with COVID-19 in close settings (at home or in a health care facility). • Pets or other animals and COVID-19: While this virus seems to have emerged from an animal source, it is now spreading from person -to -person in China. There is no reason to think that any animals including pets in the United States might be a source of infection with this new coronavirus. To date, CDC has not received any reports of pets or other animals becoming sick with COVID-19. At this time, there is no evidence that companion animals including pets can spread COVID-19. People with COVID-19 should be advised to tell their public health point of contact that they have pets or other animals in their home. In addition to other prevention measures, people with COVID-19 who are identified by public health officials as requiring home care and isolation should be advised to limit interaction with pets and other animals. Specifically, while these people are symptomatic, they should maintain separation from pets as they would with other household members, and avoid direct contact with pets, including petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food. Service animals should be permitted to remain with their handlers. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.htmi Page 6 of 7 Florida Department of Health St. Lucie County 5150 NW Milner Drive • Port St. Lucie, FL 34983 PHONE: 772/462-3800 • FAX 772/871-5360 StLucieCountyHealth.com Accredited Health Department Public Health Accreditation Board Mission: To protect, promote & improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county & community efforts. =a;1 dyi 110J t lk i'_.
