The Centers for Decease Control and Prevention (CDC) have provided a comparison of the Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 for your information.

Influenza (Flu) and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a new coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2), and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses.
COVID-19 seems to spread more easily than flu and causes more serious illnesses in some people. It can also take longer before people show symptoms and people can be contagious for longer. More information about differences between flu and COVID-19 is available in the different sections below.
Because some of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, it may be hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone, and testing may be needed to help confirm a diagnosis.

Under this program, the Federal Government will supply vaccines directly to select pharmacies across the country
Approximately 2600 stores nationwide are in the first phase, with 1 million total doses allocated for the first phase so initial supply will be limited

City Manager COVID-19 Update

As of December 20, 2020 at 0925am, there are 19,022 COVID-19 cases in Brevard County (18,836 Brevard residents and 186 non-residents). There are a total of 1,358 hospitalizations and 501 fatalities. There are 1357 COVID-19 cases In Titusville.

Brevard County Government will distribute free Personal Protection Equipment to small businesses, retailers and restaurants on Tuesday, Dec. 22, at the Emergency Operations Center in Rockledge.
Distribution is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the EOC located at 1746 Cedar Street in Rockledge.

To receive a PPE kit, a license, business card or document that displays the business name and address must be presented. Businesses are eligible to receive up to two kits.

PPE kits provided by the County contain 200 procedure masks, 25 reusable cloth masks, 2 boxes of gloves and 2 bottles of hand sanitizer. Small businesses, retailers and restaurants that have collected free PPE from the County during previous distributions are still eligible for PPE.

The PPE kit distribution was approved by the Board of County Commissioners to support small businesses, retailers and restaurants with supplies to sustain operations during the ongoing COVID-19 public health emergency. COVID-19 Vaccine Key Points:

In Florida, the State and the Governor will make the final decision on vaccine priorities and how they will be implemented
Initially there will be limited vaccine availability, resulting in the need for a phased approach by priority groups
Current vaccine requires two shots, so 10 million doses is actually 5 million people
It will take some time before it is widely available for mass dispensing

The Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine is approved for ages 16 and older. The initial allocation for Florida is 179,400 doses of Pfizer vaccine, distribution is outlined below:

97,500 doses to 5 “Pilot” hospitals
60,450 doses to CVS and Walgreens to provide to long-term care facilities
21,450 doses to DOH/National Guard Strike Teams, who will supplement CVS/Walgreens outreach to long-term care facilities

Moderna Vaccine Waiting on FDA approval of Emergency Use Authorization of their COVID-19 Vaccine (expected soon)

If approved Florida is expected to receive approximately 36,800 doses
Brevard’s hospitals are scheduled to be included in this group, exact allocations are unknown at this time
These doses are designated for hospital and healthcare workers not the general public

Vaccine Rumors and Facts:

Rumor - A tracking chip is imbedded in the vaccine so the government can track you.
Fact: Not a real thing.
Rumor- The vaccine was rushed.
Fact: The US vaccine approval process has been established for decades. While the development of the COVID-19 Vaccine was faster, the vaccine followed a rigorous evaluation process the same as any medical treatment.
Rumor- More people will die as a result of a negative side effect from the COVID-19 vaccine than will die from the actual virus.
Fact: While no vaccine is 100% effective, getting vaccinated is far better than not getting vaccinated. The benefits outweigh the risks in healthy people

Here are highlights of Phase 3 Guidance:

Vulnerable populations should affirmatively inform their employer that they are a member of the vulnerable population so that their employer can plan accordingly.

Non-vulnerable populations should consider minimizing time spent in crowded environments.

Non-essential travel may continue

Telework Employees should resume unrestricted staffing of worksites and implement the final phasing in of employees returning to work. For vulnerable populations, teleworking can be considered.

Good Afternoon Mayor, Vice Mayor, Council Members, and Team Members,
As of 1:45 am this morning 16 Mar (most recent update of FDOH website) there are 9 cases of COVID-19 in Central Florida. Five are in Volusia County, one is in Seminole County, two in Orange and one in Osceola; all are travel-related or still in the investigation phase. There are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Brevard County.
Brevard County has issued a Local State of Emergency. Cities are not required to declare a Local State of Emergency (LSE), as the County LSE covers both unincorporated and incorporated areas. The LSE includes denying or revoking permits for public gatherings and/or cancelling mass gatherings. Mass gathering in the Brevard County LSE is defined as 250 people or greater.
After the County issued this LSE, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued their revised guidance on the definition of a mass gathering. The CDC now defines a mass gathering as 50 or more. They recommend these mass gatherings be suspended/cancelled for the next 8 weeks. Additionally, those defined as medically vulnerable (65 or older) and with immune system weaknesses limit their exposure to 10 or more people for the next 8 weeks. Brevard County will revise this LSE to comply with the latest CDC guidance. The revised LSE will include denying or revoking permits for public gatherings and/or cancelling mass gatherings of 50 or more people. See attachment for the Local State of Emergency.
Brevard County Schools will remain closed to students for an additional week following spring break, at the direction of the state. Students will not return before Monday March 30. Effective today, extracurricular activities including sports have been canceled until at least March 30. No external groups such as clubs or churches will use facilities during that time. The school district will use the additional week to deep-clean all facilities and strengthen plans for continuing instruction remotely in case of extended campus closures due to COVID-19. The district is reviewing employee contracts and determining which employees will be essential to work the week of March 23.
COVID-19 test kits are available in Brevard and testing is occurring in Brevard but individuals must be symptomatic and meet the defined FDOH criteria. Florida has received 1,000 COVID-19 testing kits. Each kit allows for 300 people to be tested, however, sample collection supplies remain a challenge.
There are rumors circulating on social media that Publix, Walmart, Win Dixie and other grocery stores are closing. Brevard County EOC and the city have confirmed none of these retail grocery stores are closing. Some of these stores have simply adjusted their hours of operation to allow for additional stocking and cleaning measures.
The City continues with normal operations following both CDC and FDOH guidelines and measures for infection prevention. The city has closed our splash park until further notice. Additionally, North Brevard Charities community has cancelled the weekly dinners until the end of April. NBC is working on a plan to provide bagged "to go meals" as an alternative. These bagged meals will have a limited selection of food.
Reminders of the public protective measures:

Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds
Use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
Break the habit of touching eyes, nose and mouth
Avoid close contact with sick people, and stay home when sick
Advise sick employees to stay home, separate them from others and send them home
Allow telework or administrative leave, or create a sick leave bank
Follow respiratory etiquette by coughing/sneezing into your sleeve
Instead of handshakes, consider offering fist bumps, elbow bumps, or the Vulcan salute
