[COVID-19] Florida at risk of being on Lock-Down!

Florida is at risk of joining many other states that are in a mandatory lock-down. A request was sent to Governor Ron Desantis asking that Florida be on a mandatory lock down, amid the Corona virus ( COVID-19 ). Bars are currently closed and restaurants are only allowed to service customers as take out only.

This is just the beginning of what is to come. It only makes sense for Florida to join the rest of the country in containing COVID-19 from spreading too quickly and overwhelming our healthcare system. At some point, most people will likely end up getting COVID-19 unless a vaccine is distributed in a timely fashion.

As of March 20th, 2020, there has been at-least 250 deaths linked to Covid-19 and approximately 20,000 cases in the United States.

  • Avoid close contact (1 meter or 3 feet) with people who are unwell
  • Stay home and self-isolate from others in the household if you feel unwell
  • Don’t touch your eyes, nose, or mouth if your hands are not clean
