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. Public Safety staff worked on creating a process for Cares Act
funding distribution. The process was vetted by the Public Safety Director / Incident Commander, County
Administration and Department Directors.
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).

St. Lucie County has recorded over $5.4M in COVID-19 costs as of June 7, 2020. All County Buildings continue
to uphold social distancing guidelines and are conducting temperature checks upon entry. Beginning later this
week, the new temperature scanning kiosks will be installed in various County facilities including, but not limited
to: the Administration complex, EOC, Downtown Courthouse, Tax Collector, etc. Smaller satellite offices will
continue to conduct temperature checks as normal (i.e. handheld thermometers). The Human Resources
Department has also organized a 2nd blood drive to assist OneBlood in collection efforts due to the blood
shortage as a result of COVID.
CARES Act funding policy was approved by the BOCC on July 7th with the initial 25% ($13,885,992) that was
provided as Phase 1 of St. Lucie County's distribution from the Florida Division of Emergency Management
(FDEM). The initial allocations were divided into five separate efforts as follows: Economic Recovery (30%);
Social Services (30%); Public Safety, Public Health and Constitutional Officers (20%); County Unincorporated
Area and Cities (10% population based); and Disaster Reserve (10% - COVID & Hurricane). The expected total
award is up to $55.5 million as we continue our reimbursement tracking and FEMA timesheet

Why is Testing and knowing your COVID status so important?
1) Protecting Yours: 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) Medical Help Early: 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) Helping to Prevent COVID: Knowing how many people have COVID tell us how well we
are containing the COVID virus by using Masks, Social Distancing and Personal
Hygiene.

HEALTH State Surgeon General
Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation
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. Agency resources related to COVID-19 can be accessed on the Agency's
COVID-19 alerts for facilities and Medicaid providers website: http://ahca.mvflorida.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. We are
asking you to be proactive and contact your loved ones and friends quickly if you tested
positive for COVID.
Get in Control of Your Health
Masks and Face Coverings: Help others and yourself
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.
The face mask is worn to protect others from your aerosols and droplets. If others are not wearing
masks or face coverings your face covering/mask does not protect you from aerosols/droplets they
generate, through coughing, sneezing, laughing or talking. Protection from asymptomatic or pre -
symptomatic increases when all people are wearing face coverings/masks in situations where
social distancing is not possible or in addition to social distancing.
How to properly wear a face covering or mask:

COVID-19 is currently circulating at high rates in St. Lucie County. COVID-19 is not just a
"bad flu"; it is more contagious, has a higher death rate than influenza and can cause long-
term health concerns. 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.

HEALTH State Surgeon General
Vision: To be the Healthiest State in the Nation
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.

Fraudulent Face Mask Card
There have been recent social media posts regarding the use of face masks due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Justice has been made aware of these postings and
flyers on the internet regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and the use of face masks.
These postings were not issued by the Department of Justice and are not endorsed by the
Department. More information is available here: https://www.ada.clov/covid-19 flyer alert.html.
Attached is a picture of the fraudulent card that has been circulating.
