SECTION REPORTS Reporting Sections and ESF’s: Finance/AdministrationSection A s we work to slowly reopenthe County back to usual operations, Human Resources has implemented the attached return to work policy to ensure the continued safety of our employees and citizens. This policy is subject to change as the guidance from the authorities remain fluid duringthis pandemic. There will continue to be an extra focus on cleaning and sanitization throughout the facilities; however, the following additional safety measures will be implemented to supplement the return to work policy: 1. Risk management will be installing 10 kiosks that will take the temperature of each individual who passes through. These kiosks will only be placed at high-traffic buildings and facilities including constitutional. This allows us to reduce the number of screeners needed at each door.Screeners with thermal thermometers and proper PPE will be placed in the locations where the kiosks are not provided. 2. Human Resources will be providing each County employee with a County logo cloth face-masks that they are encouraged to wear while at work. These masks are able to be reused and are washable. Moving forward, each department will be responsible for providing a mask for their respective employees, if needed, while at work. 3. Signage will be placed throughout at all County building/facilityentryways notifying visitors of the mandatory screening process. 4. Wristbands & thermometers will be distributed to all departments that will be providing screening. HR/Carehere staff will work to train all screeners as needed for this process you will find in the attached policy. 5. We have on order 50 plastic face shields, 72 additional sneeze guards (50 distributed to date) and the aforementioned cloth face masks. These efforts are in addition to the request with Career Source for 15 screeners/sanitizers to be paid for by them for up to 8 weeks.

High recommendation is given to practice protective measures for employees, essential functions, and alternate work capabilities (e.g., telework, alternate schedules). For detailedinformation 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 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 _petsto see if lost pets have been housed at the County’s temporary animal shelter. Updated 20200528.Previous obsolete.
