Florida Department of Health
October 30, 2020
Editor’s Note: The Florida Department of Health reported 5,444 cases of Cornavirus in Florida. State totals are picking up and there are reason for concern since as is often repeated, Coronavirus knows no boundaries. Despite the sadness of a reported death today, Nassau County is fortunate to have only added 3 cases.
Nassau County Emergency Management: We are saddened to announce that another CoViD-19-related resident death has been reported. This resident was a 71-year-old male. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and loved ones.
Emergency Management and Nassau’s Public Health Professionals continue to prioritize protecting the health and wellness of our community, but public health is everyone’s responsibility and requires everyone’s active participation.
Disease prevention measures are simple, non-invasive, and non-painful.







These simple acts of good hygiene, respiratory etiquette, and basic consideration of others will stop the spread of respiratory infections and save lives.

As a retired public health physician, I was distressed to read the Nassau County Emergency Management recommendations about wearing a mask. It is clear to me that each of us would be safest when in closed public spaces when we would wear a mask that covers nose and mouth. It would protect other people and ourselves from any virus-laden air droplets.
