Whenever possible, the following practices should be implemented to reduce contact within the workplace: Avoid meeting 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. BACKGROUND 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. 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 Alternate Care Site to be available in case of surge. The County continues to distribute information regarding COVID- briefs.
