SANTA ROSA COUNTY CORONAVIRUS CASE

Pensacola-area health officials said a presumed case of the coronavirus has been found in Santa Rosa County. Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that an elderly man with a history of international travel and pre-existing health conditions was being tested for COVID-19. Baptist Hospital confirmed they were treating the patient identified by the governor. The Florida Department of Health says elderly people or those who have an immuno-suppressive condition or a compromised immune system, may want to avoid travel or visiting crowded places. If a person thinks they have COVID-19, they should call their health care provider.
