TODAY'S SITUATION
To date, the State has received 20,428 Mission Requests which continue to strain their ability to prioritize and
fulfill these requests.
State EOC Updates:
• Deputy Director Guthrie sent out an email to EM Directors on Clothe Masks. Numerous Counties have
submitted requests; more than the initial order that the State submitted to FEMA, so the State may
amend their original request to FEMA to accommodate the requests they received.
• Deputy Director Guthrie also sent out an email concerning numerous questions about electronic
signatures for the EMPA, EMPG, and EMPG-S grants.
St. Lucie County EOC Updates:
• Continue Monitoring the Public Information Line (PIL): 772-460-3547 (HELP) assisting citizen issues,
particularly those pertaining to unmet needs.
Last week, as we have had since March 19, we had the lines open 6 days per week M-F 8am-6 pm, and
8 am-5 pm on Saturday. The line answered a total of 376 questions. (Monday was day 1 of SLC's Rental
assistance program).
We have the capacity to have 3 lines open, and began the week that way, but midweek reduced to 2
lines with the capacity to send in relief if needed.

The status of St. Lucie Public schools and the details of the activities can be found on the St. Lucie Public
Schools web site at: https://www.stlucie.k12.f1.us/coronavirus-updates/marts.sanders(a)stlucieschools.org.
St. Lucie County Fire District — There are no plans of changing current protective measures and operations.
Social distancing, closure of buildings for public access, monitoring of all employees reporting to duty, and
increased disinfection practices continue to be practiced. We have observed a decreasing trend in number of
combined respiratory distress, sick, fever, malaise, and weakness calls. We continue to seek PPE from vendors.
It is becoming increasingly more available but at inflated prices.
St. Lucie County Sheriff Department - Sheriff's Office is still not open to the public but fully
functioning. Reports continue to be taken by phone if possible. Beaches seem to still be the biggest issue and
they are cultivating the biggest area of complaints by citizens. Parking is the biggest problem followed by
complaints about "improper social distancing". Parking tickets where issued on Sunday and the beaches and
boat ramps where in high gear. Several Marine Units patrolled the waters while several land units patrolled the
land. Our jail continues to check all persons entering the building for temperature as does our main office on
Midway Road. Inmates are checked and attempts to increase testing are being made. North beach residents
seem to be the most agitated over open beaches.
No reports of any personnel with COVID 19 at this time. As inmate tests come back we expect that things might
change.
This coming weekend we intend on increasing patrols on our beaches and waterways and we will also have
patrol deputies on the sand with ATV's encouraging Social Distancing. We continue to work with supplies that
are trickling in. Today we started making our own disinfectant wipes in preparation for the courthouses opening
in June and increasing capacity again for Jury trials in July.
Intake in the jail continues to be low due to our local LE Agencies continuing to Educate, Encourage and then
last Enforce by Arrest. The Sheriff's office will be assisting the Health Department beginning on May 27, 2020
@ Clover Park for drive thru testing. We are tentatively scheduled to also assist the Health Department at their
facility on Milner with testing as well. (This was postponed for this week until May 26?) We are assisting the
Food Bank with Food Distribution at the Fairgrounds this week and anticipate 1000 vehicles (limit)
We continue to utilize the same burn rate 18,900 pairs for 10 days of gloves and 2890 for 10 day burn rate of
masks.
St. Lucie County Tax Collector — St. Lucie County residents will soon have extra time to handle all of their
DMV and tax collector related business. Effective June 1, the St. Lucie County Tax Collector's Office will be
extending office hours from 8 a.m. — 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with offices remaining closed on Fridays.
Current hours of operation are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. — 5 p.m., which will continue through the
month of May. Reopening the Road Testing on certain dates.
Tax Collector Chris Craft is one of only a handful in the state who has kept his office open during the Coronavirus
(COVID-19) pandemic. Because each of the three locations (2300 Virginia Avenue, Fort Pierce, 1664 SE Walton
Road and 10264 SW Village Parkway, Port St. Lucie) is operating with limited staff, many customers have
experienced longer than normal wait times, both on the phone and in the lobbies. The extended hours will allow

Finance/Administration Section
Logistics Section
St. Lucie County is aiming to officially welcome back all employees on June 1st and will open back up to the
public later that month. In order to safeguard citizens and employees alike, everyone entering our doors will be
subjected to a screening process. Pending further review and approval: Entrances to all County facilities will
be restricted to one main entrance (If applicable) where a screener will be posted. The screener will be tasked
with taking the temperatures of everyone entering the building as well as asking a series of CDC questions
regarding travel and symptoms. Individuals who are "cleared" by the screener will be issued a wristband to
indicate that they have gone through the required screening procedure to enter the facility. Wristbands will be
color -coded in order to prevent fraud or falsification. The use of face masks will be strongly encouraged as will
social distancing guidelines.
A State Grant from the Department of Economic Opportunity administered through Career Resources will
provide 25 grant -funded positions at no cost to the County. They will be wiping door knobs and screening folks
entering buildings to assist in a safe reopening to serve our customers.
St. Lucie County currently has 19 repurposed employees who are serving in areas such as the
cleaning/sanitizing of the County Facilities, beaches and assisting at the Food Bank.
Due to continuing stakeholder and community partner demands for PPE resources, the Logistics Section has
uploaded a vendor list that can be accessed in WebEOC in order to share leads on potential sources of PPE.
The Finance section also had discussions with four proposed providers of PPE over the past week and is
working to register all fourfirms in the purchasing system in order to provide additional potential supply pipelines.

The Florida Department of Health COVID-19 Call Center can be accessed by calling 1-(866) 779-6121. The
Call Center is available 24 hours / 7 days. Public Information Line 772-460-HELP (4357). Inquiries may also
be emailed to COVID-19(VII-lealth.gov. You can also contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) for information by calling 1-800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) or go
to nttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. High recommendation is given to practice protective
measures for employees, essential functions, and alternate work capabilities (e.g., telework, alternate
schedules). For detailed information on preparing the workplace see the Occupational Safety and Health
(OSHA) Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19.
To ensure continuity of operations of essential functions, the CDC advises that critical infrastructure workers
may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19, provided they remain
asymptomatic and additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community. Critical
Infrastructure workers who have had an exposure but remain asymptomatic should adhere to the following
practices prior to and during their work shift:
• Pre -Screen: Employers should measure the employee's temperature and assess symptoms prior to
them starting work. Ideally, temperature checks should happen before the individual enters the facility.
• Regular Monitoring: As long as the employee doesn't have a temperature or symptoms, they should
self -monitor under the supervision of their employer's occupational health program.
• Wear a Mask: The employee should wear a face mask at all times while in the workplace for 14 days
after last exposure. Employers can issue facemasks or can approve employees' supplied cloth face
coverings in the event of shortages.
• Social Distance: The employee should maintain 6 feet and practice social distancing as work duties
permit in the workplace.
• Disinfect and Clean Work Spaces: Clean and disinfect all areas such as offices, bathrooms, common
areas, shared electronic equipment routinely.
DOH Division of Disease Control Emergency Rule: Disease or Conditions to be Reported 64DER20-26 (64D-
3.029) requires immediate reporting of suspected or confirmed cases and both positive and negative test results
of Coronavirus (COVID-19) by physicians, hospitals, and laboratories. The person to be contacted regarding
the emergency rule is: Carina Blackmore, Florida Department of Health, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Tallahassee,
Florida 32399-1703, (850) 245-4732.
The County's Animal Safety, Service & Protection Division staff continues to provide critical mission services
for businesses and residents; however, there will be a temporary reduction in the number of responses to calls
for service in order to further reduce the possibility of community spread of COVID-19. If residents are
experiencing an animal emergency, they can still call 911 to report an incident. Residents can also check the
County's website www.stlucieco.gov/lost pets to see if lost pets have been housed at the County's temporary
animal shelter.

CDC Interim Guidance for General Population Disaster Shelters During the COVID-19 Pandemic
This interim guidance is based on current information about the transmission and severity of coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19). The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will update this guidance
as needed and as additional information becomes available. Please check the CDC COVID-19 website periodically
for updated guidance. Because conditions vary from community to community, disaster shelter managers
should look to their state and local health officials for information specific to their location.
Key points
• Alternatives to opening disaster shelters, such as sheltering in place, should be considered during the
COVID-19 pandemic.
• Hotels/dormitories and small shelters (fewer than 50 residents) should be prioritized over larger shelters.
Large congregate shelters should be a last resort.
• Officials should demobilize large congregate shelters as soon as possible after the emergency phase and
relocate residents to hotels/dormitories or small shelters for better social distancing.
• Shelter managers should maintain contact with state and local public health agencies and emergency
management for updates on local COVID-19 information.
• Shelter health staff should monitor residents daily for symptoms of COVID-19 and other illness, including
mental health concerns, and provide a daily status update to the local health department and other
relevant agencies. View resources on daily life and coping .
• Body temperature monitoring should be conducted for all persons entering the shelter and in food
distribution areas.
• Shelters should provide separate areas, including restrooms, to isolate residents with symptoms of
COVID-19.
• Shelter staff and residents should wear a cloth face covering at all times except when not practical, such
as when eating or showering. NOTE: Cloth face coverings should not be placed on babies or children
younger than 2 years of age or anyone who has trouble breathing or is unconscious, incapacitated or
otherwise unable to remove the covering without assistance.
• All shelter residents, even those without symptoms, may have been exposed to COVID-19 and should self -
quarantine after leaving the shelter in accordance with state and local recommendations.
• If testing for COVID-19 is available, shelter staff, volunteers, and residents should be tested in accordance
with state and local health department guidelines.
During disasters, resource availability may limit the ability to apply this guidance. Best efforts should be made
to implement this guidance to the extent possible.
Target audience
This document is intended for use by federal, state, local, and tribal jurisdictions in the United States. It should
be used in conjunction with existing shelter operation and management plans, procedures, guidance, resources,
and systems, and is not a substitute for shelter planning and preparedness activities.
Purpose
This document provides interim guidance to reduce the risk of introducing and transmitting COVID-19 in general
population disaster shelters before, during, or after a disaster.
• This document should not be applied to medical support shelters or functional needs shelters.
Medical support shelters and functional needs shelters should follow the Interim Guidance for Healthcare
Facilities: Preoarine for Communitv Transmission.
For the purposes of this document, "shelters" include small-, medium- and large-scale, organized, and
temporary accommodations for persons displaced by disasters. Facilities may be residential (e.g., dormitories,
campsites) or non-residential (e.g., sports stadiums, schools, churches), with varying degrees of sanitary
infrastructure.
General population emergency shelters
Individuals housed in shelters share living spaces and sanitary facilities and may be exposed to crowded
conditions. Emergency managers, shelter coordinators/managers, and public health professionals should
understand the risk of introduction and subsequent transmission of COVID-19 and other infectious diseases in
these settings. These recommendations were developed to assist shelter staff in taking appropriate actions for
reducing the possibility of transmission among shelter staff, volunteers, residents, and visitors.
People who need to take extra precautions
View additional information for groups who need to take extra precautions.
People at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 may include:
• People 65 years or older
• Persons of any age with serious underlying medical conditions including chronic lung disease, serious heart
conditions, and diabetes. See CDC's website for a complete list of people at higher risk, and check regularly
for updates as more data become available.
• Higher risk shelter residents should be prioritized for COVID-19 testing and personal protective equipment if
resources are available but limited.
• Some staff and volunteers may be at higher risk for severe illness. Plan for alternative staffing resources to
replace high risk staff and volunteers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Consider pre -deployment of additional
healthcare workers and mental health personnel to shelters.
Other people who may need to take extra precautions include:
• People with disabilities
• Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers
• People experiencing homelessness
• Racial and ethnic minority groups
Screening, monitoring, and isolation
Shelters should monitor and record possible COVID-19 cases and perform periodic assessments of all shelter
policies and procedures related to lowering transmission on COVID-19 (e.g. isolation area, social distancing,
meal service, cleaning, disinfection). Case numbers should be shared with local public health officials daily to
alert them to increasing numbers.
• Access to safe shelter from disasters is critical even during community spread of COVID-19. Disaster shelters
should not exclude as residents people who are having symptoms or test positive for COVID-19.
• Screen all people entering the shelter (residents, staff, volunteers, and visitors) for signs of COVID-19 using
the CDC recommended tool for screening for symptoms at entry to homeless shelters.
• Staff, volunteers, and visitors who screen positive for COVID-19 symptoms should be sent home
immediately, if feasible, and advised to follow CDC recommended steps for persons who are ill with COVID-
19 symptoms. If staff or volunteers are also residents of the shelter, they should be directed to an isolation
area.
• Following medical screening, residents should be grouped as "not sick," "sick," and "requires immediate
medical attention."
• If a resident is classified as "sick"
o Provide a cloth face covering if available, and if the person can tolerate it. NOTE: Cloth face
coverings should not be placed on babies or children younger than 2 years of age or anyone who has
trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the covering
without assistance.
o Advise the resident on cough etiquette and provide tissues if a face covering is not tolerated.
o Direct the resident to an isolation area in the shelter or at another location, according to a
predesignated plan.
• If a person "requires immediate medical attention"
o Call emergency services for transport and tell the operator this is a probable case of COVID-19.
Intake area and waiting room
Provide handwashing stations or alcohol -based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, tissues, and
wastebaskets. See additional information on CDC's handwashing recommendations.
• Utilize trained medical or healthcare staff to conduct medical screening.
• Provide additional personnel for medical screening to decrease intake time.
• Staff who are checking client temperatures should use a system that creates a physical barrier between the
client and the screener.
o Screeners should stand behind a physical barrier, such as a glass or plastic window or partition that
can protect the staff member's face from respiratory droplets that may be produced if the client
sneezes, coughs, or talks.
o If social distancing or barrier/partition controls cannot be put in place during screening, screeners
should use PPE (i.e., facemask, eye protection [goggles or disposable face shield that fully covers the
front and sides of the face], a single pair of disposable gloves) when within 6 feet of a client.
o However, given PPE shortages, training requirements, and because PPE alone is less effective than a
barrier, staff should try to use a barrier whenever possible.
• Conduct thorough cleaning and disinfection of the area every 4-6 hours.
See additional information on CDC's entry screening recommendations.
Isolation area
• When possible, place sick residents in individual rooms for isolation.
• If individual rooms are not possible, designate a separate isolation area for sick residents.
• Let the resident know:
o They should notify shelter staff immediately if their symptoms worsen.
o They should not leave their room/isolation area except to use the restroom.
o They should keep a distance of at least 6 feet away from other residents in the isolation area.
o They must wear a cloth face covering at all times, except when eating or showering, unless they have
trouble breathing.
• Isolation areas or buildings should be separate from the rest of the shelter.
• Isolation areas should be well -ventilated.
• At least 6 feet of distance should be maintained between residents in isolation areas.
• Cots should be placed at least 6 feet apart with temporary barriers between them.
• Bathroom facilities should be near the isolation area and separate from bathrooms used by well residents.
• Shelter staff providing medical care to clients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 where close contact
(within 6 feet) cannot be avoided, should at a minimum, wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), an
N95 or higher -level respirator (or a facemask if respirators are not available or staff are not fit tested),
disposable gown, and disposable gloves. Cloth face coverings are not PPE and should not be used when a
respirator or facemask is indicated. View infection control guidelines for healthcare providers.
• Shelter staff who enter the isolation area for reasons other than providing medical care (e.g. delivering
meals or other items) should wear N95 masks (or a facemask if respirators are not available or staff are not
fit tested).
Additional comfort items, like tissues and blankets, should be provided for sick residents.
Discontinuation of isolation
The decision to discontinue isolation should be made in the context of local circumstances. Options include:
o A symptom -based strategy (i.e., time since illness onset and time since recovery)
o A test -based strategy
o Time -based and test -based strategies for people who tested positive for COVID-19 but did not
experience symptoms.
For additional information please refer to the CDC interim guidance Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons with
COVID-19 Not in Healthcare Settings, which includes, but is not limited to, at home, in a hotel or dormitory
room, or in group isolation facility.
Information in all common areas of the shelter
• Post signage throughout the facility on:
o Common symptoms of COVID-19
o Importance of wearing a cloth face covering
o The need to follow frequent handwashing and proper respiratory etiquette
o Reporting symptoms to shelter staff if they feel ill
o Reminding staff to wash their hands with soap and water after touching someone who is sick or
handling a sick person's personal effects, used tissues, or laundry
o Coping with stress
Ensure signage is understandable for non-English speaking persons and those with low literacy. Make necessary
accommodations for those with cognitive or intellectual disabilities and those who are deaf, blind, or with low
vision.
CDC print materials developed to support COVID-19 recommendations are available and free for download.
Social distancing
• When possible, place groups or families in individual rooms or in separate areas of the facility.
• Shelter facility should be large enough to provide space for distancing among residents.
• Provide a distance of at least 6 feet between cots of people from different households and have residents
sleep head -to -toe.
Food service
• Serve pre -packaged meals or individual meals dispensed by food service workers when possible.
• Food service workers should wear gloves and cloth face coverings during meal preparation and service.
• Cafeteria -style service is preferred over self-service, buffet, or family -style while maintaining a minimum of 6
foot spacing between individuals.
• Maintain a minimum of 6 feet of distance between people of different households at mealtimes using
increased table spacing and staggered mealtimes. Clean and disinfect the area between meal service times.
• Encourage staff and shelter residents to not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or
bedding with other people.
• Serve using disposable silverware, cups, and plates, if available. If these items are not disposable, the food
contact surface should be protected from contamination and cleaned and disinfected after each use.
• Provide handwashing stations and soap with disposable towels or alcohol -based hand sanitizer (minimum
60% alcohol) for use prior to entering food lines.
• Residents should wear cloth face coverings while in the food line.
• Position shelter staff at handwashing stations to promote proper handwashing and to monitor for signs of
illness. Staff should wear cloth face coverings.
• Implement illness screening, including fever monitoring, of residents entering the food distribution area.
o Any temperature of 100.4 F or greater is considered a fever.
o Staff and volunteers who are symptomatic should leave the facility as soon as possible.
o Residents who are symptomatic should be directed to the isolation area.
o Increase monitoring for symptoms among close contacts of people who become symptomatic.
Increased use of supplies
Plan for a significant increase in use of supplies including:
o Masks, gowns, and gloves
o Cloth face coverings
o Water and other fluids for hydration
o Ice
o Cups and other utensils
o Facial tissues
o Soap
o Handwashing stations
o Hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol
o Paper towels
o Disinfection and cleaning agents and supplies
o Bed linens/blankets
o Materials to be used for barriers between cots in separation area(s)
o Over-the-counter medications
• Consult a healthcare provider when considering giving over-the-counter medications to children.
Children younger than 4 years of age should NOT be given over-the-counter cold medications
without first speaking with a healthcare provider. Do NOT give aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) to
children who appear sick; this can cause a rare but serious illness called Reye's syndrome.
Cleaning and disinfection
The risk of exposure to cleaning staff is inherently low. Train staff members who perform cleaning functions
using CDC recommendations for cleaning and disinfection. These recommendations will be updated as
additional information becomes available. Instructional materials for custodial and other staff should be
provided in languages other than English as locally appropriate.
• Disinfection should be done using an EPA -registered disinfectant .
• Cleaning staff should wear disposable gloves and gowns for all tasks in the cleaning process, including
handling trash.
• Solid waste (trash) such as tissues, food items, and drink containers should be considered as potentially
"infectious waste."
• Waste receptacles with non -removable, no -touch lids, should be placed a reasonable distance away from
any populated areas.
• Place a handwashing station or hand sanitizers containing at least 60% alcohol next to any waste
receptables. Disinfect the lids and handles of receptacles on a regular basis.
• Outdoor waste receptacles should be covered with lids.
• Areas and items that are visibly soiled should be cleaned immediately.
• All common areas should be cleaned and disinfected every 4 hours with a focus on frequently touched
surfaces like tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
• Linens (such as bed sheets and towels), eating utensils, and dishes belonging to those who are sick do not
need to be cleaned separately, but they should not be shared without having been thoroughly washed.
Wash linens using laundry soap and tumble dry on the warmest setting possible.
• Staff should wash their hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol
immediately after handling dirty laundry or used eating utensils and dishes.
Air Filtration
If possible:
• Locate disaster shelters in buildings with high ventilation capacity similar to healthcare facilities.
• Shelters should be equipped with air exchange systems.
• Shelters should be located in buildings with tall ceilings.
• Utilize the highest efficiency filters that are compatible with the shelter's existing HVAC system.
• Adopt "clean -to -dirty" directional airflows.
• Select upward airflow rotation if using ceiling fans.
Special considerations for children
• Educate parents and caregivers about how to reduce the spread of illness.
• Help parents understand that children may feel stress and fear while in the shelter. Information on coping
with stress can help parents manage their own stress and that of their children.
• Encourage parents and caregivers to monitor children for symptoms of illness and to report any suspected
illness immediately to shelter staff.
o The symptoms of COVID-19 are similar in children and adults. However, children with confirmed
COVID-19 have generally shown mild symptoms.
o Reported symptoms in children include cold -like symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, and cough.
Vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported.
• Instruct parents/guardians to assist children to stay at least 6 feet away from other residents.
• If possible, at nap time, ensure that children's naptime mats (or cribs) are spaced out as much as possible,
ideally 6 feet apart. Consider placing children head to toe in order to further reduce the potential for disease
spread.
• Assign the same mat/crib to one child or disinfect mat/crib between use by different children.
• Thoroughly clean common play areas or temporary respite care areas every 4-6 hours with a focus on items
that are more likely to have frequent contact with the hands, mouths, or bodily fluids of children (e.g., toys).
• Clean and disinfect toys
o Toys that cannot be cleaned and disinfected should not be used.
o Toys that children have placed in their mouths or that are otherwise contaminated by body
secretions or excretions should be set aside until they are cleaned by hand by a person wearing
gloves. Clean with water and detergent, rinse, disinfect with an EPA -registered disinfectant, rinse
again, and air-dry. You may also clean in a mechanical dishwasher. Be mindful of items more likely
to be placed in a child's mouth, like play food, dishes, and utensils.
o Machine washable cloth toys should be used by one individual at a time or should not be used at all.
These toys should be laundered before being used by another child.
o Do not share toys with other groups of infants or toddlers, unless they are washed and disinfected
before being moved from one group to the other.
o Set aside toys that need to be cleaned. Place in a dish pan with soapy water or put in a separate
container marked for "soiled toys." Keep dish pans and water out of reach of children to prevent risk
of drowning. Washing with soapy water is the ideal method for cleaning. Try to have enough toys so
that the toys can be rotated through cleanings.
o Children's books, like other paper -based materials such as mail or envelopes, are not considered a
high risk for transmission and do not need additional cleaning or disinfection procedures
Require hand hygiene for children, parents, and staff before entering and leaving the children's temporary
respite care area.
Hand sanitizer should be kept out of reach of children.
Find additional information on caring for children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Animals in emergency shelters
These recommendations outline special considerations for lowering COVID-19 transmission risk in human
shelters that also house animals. While the risk of transmission from animals to humans is believed to be low,
precautions should be taken to prevent possible transmission.
NOTE: Do not put cloth face coverings or other face coverings on animals, even if they appear sick.
Companion animals (pets)
The scope of these recommendations is limited to special considerations for pet -friendly disaster shelters during
the COVID-19 pandemic. Information on general shelter operations can be found in the FEMA Best Practice
"Shelter Operations: Pet -Friendly Shelters" document. Detailed recommendations on handling exposed animals
is available in the "Interim recommendations for intake of companion animals from households where humans
with COVID-19 are present" developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), with support
from CDC One Health.
Animal areas
Note: Recommendations for operating the human shelter should be applied by any person in the animal areas.
Use of cloth face coverings, frequent handwashing, social distancing, and frequent cleaning and disinfection
should be maintained in the animal areas. Do not put any type of face covering on animals.
• Identify an area to shelter companion animals away from the human living space.
• Provide a separate area of the shelter for companion animals that had contact with a person with known or
suspected COVID-19 and companion animals who show signs of illness.
• Upon registration, ask if the animal may have been exposed to a person with known or suspected COVID-19
within the previous 14 days. Contact can result from:
o Being within approximately 6 feet of the person.
o Giving kisses or licks, and/or sharing food or bedding with the person.
o Being snuggled, pet, coughed, sneezed, or spit on by the person.
If yes, the animal should be sheltered in the animal isolation area.
• Collect information about COVID-19 exposure status of pets at entry, as well as any clinical signs in pets
consistent with COVID-19, to aid in triaging and proper isolation.
• Separate animals by a distance of at least 6 feet at all times, including during pet registration and exercise.
• Limit access to animals to one healthy family member for the duration of the stay.
• Provide handwashing stations at entry and exit to the animal areas.
• All people should wash their hands with soap and water for 20 seconds upon entry and exit to the area.
• Anyone handling animals who may have been exposed or show signs of illness should wear gloves and a
cloth face covering. Gloves should be disposed of after each use.
• If an animal gets sick while in the shelter:
o Call a veterinarian and let them know the animal may have been exposed to a person with COVID-
19.
o Contact local animal health and public health authorities to determine if the animal should be tested
and if other precautions should be taken.
Service animals
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service animals must be allowed to stay with their
handlers.
It is important to keep in mind that:
• Service animals are approved under the ADA regardless of whether they are licensed or certified.
• Persons with service animals cannot be isolated from other people or treated less favorably.
• Persons with service animals cannot be asked to remove their service animal from the shelter unless:
o Animal is out of control
o Animal poses a direct threat
If the handler shows signs of illness:
• If available, provide a separate room where the handler and service animal can isolate together.
o If a separate room is not available, the handler and service animal should move to the group
isolation area.
• Service animal should remain at least 6 feet apart from other people in the isolation area.
• To the extent possible, the handler should limit contact between themselves and their service animal
(e.g., avoiding petting, snuggling, or other contact not related to the service animal's work or task).
• Handler should wash hands frequently and before and after touching the service animal.
• If possible, have someone who is not symptomatic walk, exercise, and feed the service animal.
If the service animal shows signs of illness:
• Follow the recommendations in the bullets above, except if a separate room is not available the handler
and service animal should remain in the general population area.
• Do not put any type of face covering on the service animal.
• The handler or other caretaker should wear gloves and a cloth face covering when walking, exercising,
or feeding the animals. Gloves should be disposed of after each use.
• Call a veterinarian and let them know the animal may have been exposed to a person with COVID-19.
• Contact local animal health and public health to determine if the animal should be tested and if other
precautions should be taken.

Safety Message/Expanded Safety Message, Safety Plan, Site Safety Plan
Discussion of COVID-19 continues each day and we are providing updates from OSHA and the Centers of Disease Control
(CDC). Risk Management encourages that the guidelines and recommendations be followed as best practice. We also
recommend visiting their websites frequently as more updates are being posted as additional information regarding COVID-19 is
gathered. The CDC for Social Distancing guidelines has been extended to April 30, 2020.
Below are current recommendation from the CDC's website as of March 25, 2020:
1. Employees can take steps to protect themselves at work and at home. People with serious chronic medical conditions are at
a higher risk for complications.
2. All employees should follow out procedures for illness, stay home if you are sick and inform your supervisor if you have
someone who is sick.
3. Take your temperature as your enter the EOC and document on the provided log. Please do the same again as your leave
the EOC.
4. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizer throughout the day.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
6. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in the trash and
immediately wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds.
7. Clean AND disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces such as workstations, keyboards, telephones, handrails, and
doorknobs.
8. Avoid using other employee's phones, workstations, or other work tools. If you have used them, clean AND disinfect after
each use.
9. Practice social distancing by avoiding gathering and maintaining six (6) feet from each other at all times.
HR/Risk Management has a vendor on standby to disinfect the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) as needed. Please direct
requests to disinfect to HR Director or Risk Manager.
For more information regarding specific policies and safe operating procedures, please contact HR/Risk Management.
