the EOC if a resource request can't be obtained locally and through traditional procurement processes.
St. Lucie County qualified to receive Cares Act funding to distribute amongst agency and municipal partners to
assist those impacted by COVID-19: $13,885,922.00 (initial State disbursement and 25% of total funding
allotted to St. Lucie). Through a reimbursement process, agencies and municipalities can obtain 75% of Cares
Act funding — an estimated total of $55,543,688.00. County Department Directors have met with County
Administration to coordinate the issuance of funding. Public Safety was assigned as the lead agency to
coordinate the process of Cares Act funding.
Due to the increase in daily new cases as well as the issuance of Cares Act funding, the EOC organization was
expanded to better coordinate Response and Recovery operations as of June 29, 2020 (see Attachment 2).
Command Staff is meeting with Branch and Unit Leaders, as well as Municipal and Department of Health in St.
Lucie leadership on a weekly basis to maintain situational awareness and command and control of the rapidly
evolving incident. Two (2) Situation Reports will be issued in the 30-day Operational Period (June 15 to July
15).
Governor DeSantis signed Executive Order (EO) 20-159 extending EO 20-121 and 20-137 to August 1, 2020
which prohibits evictions and mortgage foreclosures. For full information on the Governor's EOs go to:
https://www.flgov.com/2020-executive-orders/. On June 26, EO 2020-09 was passed requiring "all vendors
licensed to sell alcoholic beverages for the consumption on the premises who derive more than 50% of gross
revenue... to suspend such sales on the premises."

Why is Testing and knowing your COVID status so important?
1) If you know you are currently infected with COVID you can protect your family, friends and
community by isolating yourself and reduce the spread of COVID.
2) If you or other family members are ill, you can get the help you need medically to prevent the
potential negative consequences of COVID, such as serve illness or death.
3) Knowing how many people have COVID tell us how well we are containing the COVID virus by
using Masks, Social Distancing and Personal Hygiene.

The Health Department (FDOH) and Testing of Vulnerable Populations: Nursing Homes and Assisted
Living Facilities:
Staff will be required to be tested every two weeks to prevent spread of COVID-19 in nursing homes and
assisted living facilities. To see the emergency rules, please click here: Emergency Rule 59AER20-4 and
Emergency Rule 59AER20-5. Agency resources related to COVID-19 can be accessed on the Agency's
COVID-19 alerts for facilities and Medicaid providers website: http://ahca.myflorida.com/covid-19 alerts.shtml .
The Health Department (FDOH) and Testing and Contact Tracing:
Contact Tracing is a core public health function. It is a high priority for the Health Department and a very
effective strategy to stop the spread of COVID-19. For each case that is reported, an interview is
conducted to inquire about everyone the case had contact with. Contacts receive education, health
recommendations, monitoring and testing, if needed. We are constantly reevaluating the workload and
staffing levels to adjust accordingly along with support from our state health office and community
partners to join efforts in the COVID-19 response.
Current Information
Masks and Face Coverings:
The use of cloth face-coverings/masks is an important tool to help us control COVID-19 in our community.
Airborne transmission of COVID-19 is the most efficient way to transmit COVID-19 from one person to another.
As the COVID-19 Pandemic has spread around the world, the CDC, WHO and several well -designed studies
have supported the efficacy of face masks as part of a system of community mitigation that includes, social
distancing, contact tracing and quarantine to reduce COVID-19. These studies estimate that the use of face
masks has contributed to a decrease in COVID-19 infection and deaths in many countries affected by COVID-
19.
The face mask is worn to protect others from droplets generated by the mask wearers breathing, talking,
laughing, sneezing and coughing. The face covering/mask reduces the amount and concentration of infectious
droplets expelled from the mask's wearers mouth and nose.
The mask does not efficiently protect the mask wearer from those not wearing masks. Protection increases
when all people are wearing face coverings/masks in situations where social distancing is not possible
or in addition to social distancing.
Many people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, yet infectious to others. In addition, people infected with
COVID-19 are infectious from 1-4 days before symptoms occur. The use of face coverings/masks if worn by all
would significantly hamper the ability of both the asymptomatic and the pre -symptomatic among us to transmit
COVID-19 to others and would ultimately decrease community transmission.

We live in an area where there are many high risk people among us who, if infected, are more likely to suffer
complications and/or death. The wide use of face cloths/masks reduces the likelihood that infectious droplets
will infect this highly fragile population. Those in LTCF and the elderly among us are particularly susceptible to
negative effects from COVID-19.

Immunity to COVID-19
After recovering from COVID-19, are you immune?
"In summary, existing limited data on antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 and related coronaviruses, as well
as one small animal model study, suggest that recovery from COVID-19 might confer immunity against
reinfection, at least temporarily. However, the immune response to COVID-19 is not yet fully understood and
definitive data on post -infection immunity are lacking."
httios:Hmamanetwork.com/mournals/mama/fullarticle/2766097
Other sources use data from SARS and MERS, related viruses as models and suggest that immunity
might be intact for a "few years"
https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-immunity.html
Currently there is no substantial evidence to support long-term immunity. As more research is completed, how
long people are immune will be known.

What you Should Know
COVID-19 is currently circulating in St. Lucie CountyCO VID- 19 is not just a "bad flu'; it is more
contagious and has a higher death rate than influenza. Humans have never been infected with this
virus and we have no immunity to it.
Simple prevention measures such as wearing a face covering and maintaining 6 ft. between you
and others recommended by the CDC and other researchers to prevent the transmission of COVID.
These measures are effective at preventing small droplets from entering your eyes, nose or mouth.
Simple hygiene measures such as hand washing and cleaning of surfaces in your home are also
recommended to prevent transmission of droplets from surfaces to the eyes, nose or mouth.
Primary symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough and shortness of breath. Symptoms may appear in as
few as two days or as many as 14 days following exposure. The elderly and those with underlying
medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems and diabetes are more likely to develop
serious illness. There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19. The best way to prevent illness is
to avoid being exposed to the virus. The Department recommends:
• Using a mask or face covering in public to protect others should you be asymptomatic yet
infectious to others. (asymptomatic infections have been associated with COVID transmission)
• Maintain 6 feet between you and others -close proximity to infected people increases your
chances of contracting COVID-19.
• Avoiding close contact with people who are sick;
• Staying home when you are sick and avoiding contact with persons in poor health;
• Avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands;
• Covering your cough or sneezing into a tissue, then disposing of the tissue;
• Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to
the bathroom, before eating, after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing;
• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol -based hand sanitizer with at least
60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty; and
• Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household
cleaning spray or wipe.
Ongoing response and recovery actions
• Protect the vulnerable
• Increase Testing and Monitoring Disease Trends
• Promote Social Distancing and face coverings/masks
• Support Hospitals and Protect Health Care Workers
• Help protect introduction of the virus into the community
• Monitoring, surveilling and reporting COVID disease in the County.
• Continue daily communication and follow up with long term care facilities, dialysis centers,
rehabilitation centers, drug treatment centers and group homes.
• Coordinating with AHCA or the appropriate regulatory agency for joint inspections and testing.
• Work with Emergency Management and partners to reach vulnerable populations to assess
unmet needs that may include access to meals, medicines and other essentials.
