As of April 11, 2020, one hundred forty-eight (148) cases of COVID-19 have been reported, with six (6) deaths and forty-two (42) cumulative hospitalizations due to COVID-19 within SLC. Local State of Emergencies have been declared in all sixty-seven (67) Florida Counties, fifty-one (51) Counties are a Level 2 (Partial) Emergency Operation Center (EOC) activation, sixteen (16) are at a Level 1 (Full) activation. The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) is tracking 13,578 resource requests. Currently, two (2) Florida Counties have implemented full curfews and five (5) enacting limited curfews. Currently, eleven (11) County governments are fully closed, forty-six (46) County Governments are implementing partial government closures and nine (9) County Governments have not applied 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 has prepared the Havert L. Fenn Center as an Alternative Care Site to be available in case of surge. The County continues to distribute information regarding COVID-19 and County services to the public through Alert St Lucie, Social Media, SLC Website and Press Briefings. Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), primarily N95 masks, continue to be in high demand with the State continuing to have limited supply access. A Department of Heath recommendation for Fire Districts to place N95 masks on every patient encountered is placing additional strain on these needs. The State EOC is working with Florida School Districts to ensure coordinated resource planning as Districts consider resuming school services, as food service supply chains are currently strained. Executive Order 20-92 remains in effect to limit statewide movement and personal interactions of people outside of their home to essential services. St. Lucie Countywill be closed on Fridays throughout the month of April; however Emergency Operations and essential public safety functions remain active and working remotely when available in order to adhere to social distancing guidelines and best practices.

Safety Officer SOCIAL DISTANCING REMINDER: We are relying on all stakeholders and their organizations 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: Avoidmeeting people face-to-face. BOCC 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.
