Good morning, Palmetto Bay. Happy Independence Day. What are your plans? When you take a moment and look at past Fourth of July weekends, our biggest collective concern was something as simple as the weather. This year, things are different of course and we have to adapt. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we've had to cancel our annual Independence Day gathering and fireworks display. Public safety is always our priority, and we hope you understand. This weekend still affords us the opportunity to spend time with family and reflect on all the things we have to celebrate. Enjoy, and stay safe!

A mosquito borne illness alert continues in Miami-Dade County as four more cases of West Nile Virus have emerged, bringing to 18 the total number of cases in the county so far this year. Please take the precautions below:
DRAIN standing water around your house to stop the pesky critters from multiplying.
- Drain water from garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots or any other containers where sprinkler or rainwater has collected.
- Discard old tires, drums, bottles, cans, pots and pans, broken appliances and other items that aren’t being used.
- Empty and clean birdbaths and pet’s water bowls at least once or twice a week
- Protect boats and vehicles from rain with tarps that don’t accumulate water.
- Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
COVER skin with clothing or repellent.
- Clothing – Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.
- Repellent – Apply mosquito repellent to bare skin and clothing.
- Always use repellents according to the label.
- Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house. Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches, and patios.
