SITUATION SUMMARY
A State of Local Emergency was declared in St. Lucie County on 3/17/2020; the Governor of Florida
issued a State of Emergency on 3/16/2020; the President of the United States issued a Federal
Disaster Declaration on 3/13/2020.
As of April 3, 2020, forty-eight (48) cases of COVID-19 have been reported, with three (3) deaths and
eighteen (18) hospitalizations due to COVID-19 within SLC. Local State of Emergencies have been
declared in all sixty-seven (67) Florida Counties, fifty (50) Counties are a Level 2 (Partial) Emergency
Operation Center (EOC) activation, sixteen (16) are at a Level 1 (Full) activation and one (1) is not
activated. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is tracking 10,921 resource requests.
Currently, two (2) Florida Counties have implemented full curfews and five (5) with limited curfews.
Currently, three (3) County governments are fully closed, fifty (50) County Governments are
implementing partial government closures and thirteen (13) County Governments have not
implemented any government closures. One (1) County is not reporting closure activity.
The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated at 0800 hours on Wednesday, March 18,
2020. Medical and cleaning supplies remain on backorder with the Florida Division of Emergency
Management (FDEM). The State EOC has received an overwhelming amount of requests, therefore,
priority will be given to counties with the greater number of COVID-19 cases. In preparation for future
medical needs, St. Lucie County continues to support the Department of Health in identifying
potential alternate care sites. The County is disseminating information regarding COVID-19 and
County services to the public through "Alert St Lucie", Social Media, SLC's Website and Press
Briefings.
Between April 1 - 2, 2020 Governor DeSantis signed Executive Orders 20-92, 20-93 & 20-94 as
follows:
• EO 20-92: Essential Services and Activities - Amended Executive Order 20-91 which directed
a statewide essential services and activities order for the entire State of Florida effective as of
12:01 AM today (April 3, 2020). The updated order seeks to clarify the order's limits on the
movement and personal interactions of people outside of their home, restricting activities to
those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities. This
Order shall supersede any conflicting official action or order issued by local officials in
response to COVID-19, therefore local orders such as St. Lucie County's "Safer -At -Home"
Order are superseded, where applicable.
• EO 20-93: Reemployment Assistance - Directs all executive agency heads, in consultation
with the Department of Management Services (DMS), to identify and deploy executive agency
personnel to assist the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) with their reemployment

assistance efforts, including call center operations and other citizen services. The order
streamlines reassigned personnel training to expedite deployment, while directing new or
alternative forms and methods for receiving Reemployment applications.
• EO 20-94: Mortgage Foreclosure and Eviction Relief — This order suspends and tolls any
statute providing for 1) A mortgage foreclosure cause of action under Florida law and 2) An
eviction cause of action under Florida law solely as it relates to non-payment of rent by
residential tenants due to the COVID-19 emergency, for 45 days from the date of this
Executive Order, including any extensions.
St. Lucie County Facilities will be closed on Fridays throughout the month of April.
Department of Health in St. Lucie is looking to build a volunteer cadre of qualified medical
professionals to manage increases in COVID-19 cases, if the need arises. The Florida Department
of Health in St. Lucie operates a Medical Reserve Corps that can be activated in emergencies such
as the current pandemic. Any licensed healthcare professional who is willing to volunteer in the
event there is a need for additional doctors, nurses, EMTs and other healthcare experts are
encouraged to register at https://www.fIhealthresponse.com/mrcvolunteer. Under Florida Statue 110,
sovereign immunity is provided to volunteers. State Statue 768.28 is the Sovereign Immunity Law
and 768.1355 is the Volunteer Protection Act which allows licensed professionals to volunteer, and
have their licenses protected. Every medical professional that registers will be vetted by the Florida
Department of Health before being activated.

Florida Department of Health dedicated COVID-19 Call Center by calling 1-(866) 779-6121. The Call

SOCIAL DISTANCING REMINDER:
We are relying on your department's efforts to enforce social distancing and best practices for
preventing/slowing the spread of COVID-19. Whenever possible, the following practices should be
implemented to reduce contact within the workplace:
Avoid meeting people face-to-face. Employees are encouraged to use the telephone, online
conferencing through Microsoft Teams (call IT for Assistance), e-mail or instant messaging (Cisco
Jabber) to conduct business as much as possible, even when participants are in the same
office/building. If a meeting is required, have the meeting in a well -ventilated area and ensure that all
employees are at least 6 feet apart from one another. Implement staggered work shifts so that
everyone in your office is not working at the same time. Have crew members report to the main work
site instead of riding together in one truck. Family First Act informational posters have been
