COVID-19 Helpful Resources

I am sure that you (like me) are being inundated with information regarding COVID-19. I can only put-up with hearing this stuff and the apocalyptic comments for so long, and then I start hitting "delete" whenever I see an email that starts with "Coronavirus." Below, I have tried to sort through the clutter and provide resources that you might find helpful:

1) FLORIDA CORONAVIRUS HOTLINE & WEBSITE - 24-hour hotline that is dedicated to answer your questions or concerns. The number is 1-866-779-6121. The call center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Florida Health website can be found at https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/
