This top pinned post will be updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
We would like to thank everyone for their patience awaiting test results. We know this can be a stressful time. We are CAT5 hurricane survivors and we are going to get through this pandemic! The state is expanding laboratory capacity to accommodate the influx of testing and improve testing wait time. For individuals who have had actual close contact to a positive case (less than 6 feet for 15 minutes), the recommendation continues to be the same: Quarantine for 14 days in your home from the date of exposure. If symptoms develop, contact your healthcare provider. If you are still waiting on your test results and have been keeping yourself in quarantine, you are doing what you need to do to limit exposure to others.
Here’s what you’ll find new in today’s update:
- City of Apalachicola Emergency Proclamation on Facial Coverings
- Executive Order 20-159 Limited Extension of Mortgage Foreclosure and Eviction Relief
- American Strong-Social Distancing Flyer
- REMINDER: DOH-Franklin offers FREE COVID-19 testing every Monday – Thursday from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. Call (850) 653-2111 for appointment.
Here are the Florida Department of Health testing numbers as of 3:00pm today:
