SITUATION SUMMARY
A State of Local Emergency was declared in St. Lucie County (SLC) 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 4, 2020, sixty-seven (67) cases of COVID-19 have been reported, with three (3) deaths
and twenty-one (21) 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 11,337 resource
requests. Currently, two (2) Florida Counties have implemented full curfews and six (6) 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 volume of requests, therefore,
priority remains with counties experiencing 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 and resource coordination. 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.
The State is working to increase testing while expanding criteria to receive a test.
Executive Order 20-92 remains in effect to limit statewide the movement and personal interactions of
people outside of their home to essential services, generally confining activities to those necessary to
obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities. This Order supersedes 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orders such as St. Lucie County's "Safer -At -Home" Order are superseded, where applicable.
St. Lucie County's buildings will be closed on Fridays throughout the month of April; however
Emergency Operations and essential public safety functions remain active.
Department of Health in St. Lucie continues to compile a volunteer force 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

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
distributed for employee education to all St. Lucie County Departments.
