As we head into the fourth week of Governor DeSantis' Safer at Home order for the COVID-19 health emergency, we do so with new information from him regarding the reopening of Florida and a task force he appointed to help guide our community through that process.
The Governor's task force will hold daily discussions over the next week and then brief the Governor on their recommendations to reopen the state. Representatives from tourism, construction, real estate, recreation, retail, and transportation will all give industry updates daily to aid in the decision-making process. As your Board of County Commissioners, we remain in contact with the Governor's office and State Emergency Management officials regarding a potential reopening timeline and the associated phased process.
While we continue to respond to COVID-19, St. Johns County continues to offer support to our residents and local businesses in the form of additional resources and programs. The Resident Assistance Hotline can be reached at 904.209.1250, and the Business Assistance Hotline at 904.209.6050. There is also a compiled list of information regarding both
resident assistance and
business assistance on our
COVID-19 webpage
. In addition, you can find a list of COVID-19 collection sites
here, Department of Health COVID-19 statistics
here, and COVID-19 symptoms
here.
St. Johns County's beaches are partially open from 6:00 a.m. to noon daily for uses that include physical activity and motion. Permitted activities include walking, running, exercise, surfing, biking, fishing, swimming, and surfing. On-beach driving, blankets, chairs, coolers, umbrellas, tents, and activities that promote a stationary presence remain prohibited. As with all of our COVID-19 actions, the measures governing use of the beach are continually evaluated and may change should all beach visitors comply with CDC guidelines and conditions warrant.
We understand the frustration residents feel experiencing the unknown. We are here for you and your families and are basing our decisions regarding COVID-19 response with the health, safety, and welfare of our community in mind. Our next special meeting will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28, in the County Administration Building to further discuss our Local State of Emergency. Members of the community who would like to participate in public comment by telephone during the meetings may do so by calling 904.209.1265. If you have questions regarding closures, cancellations, or COVID-19 information, please call the Emergency Operations Center COVID-19 Hotline at 904.824.5550 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, or visit the Florida Department of Health website at www.floridahealth.gov. Please do not hesitate to call or email us if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
The St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners
