Cedar Key News Editor's Note:

These Levy Emergency Management Updates will not occur daily.

Instead, uupdates will occur , and be pbulished, as data change.

For the purpose of this information, released means that a patient that has previously tested positive has met the required isolation period of a minimum of 14 days, has had no symptoms or fever for at least 72 hours, and is no longer required to isolate and is no longer being monitored by the FDOH.

In order for us to continue to flatten the curve and get everyone back to a sense of normalcy, it is VITAL that everyone continue to practice social distancing: Stay at home as much as possible, clean your hands often, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, cover coughs and sneezes, clean and disinfect high touch surfaces, avoid crowds, especially groups over 10 people, maintain 6ft distance between you and others, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around others, and continue to follow all CDC recommended precautions.

We will only be successful in beating this disease if we all work together and keep each other safe.
