AND BROADENING TESTING PROTOCOL. IT IS BEEN ASSURED MORE
RESOURCES ARE ON THE WAY.
>> HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA
OFFICIALS ARE TAKING NO
CHANCES WHEN IT COMES TO THE
CORONAVIRUS.
>> WHILE THERE ARE NO CASES IN
THE STATE THERE ARE CONCERNS
ABOUT TESTING AND MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY.
OUR LIVE TEAM COVERAGE
CONTINUES WITH PLANS IN PLACE
AND HOW YOU CAN PREPARE.
CMAC I WANT TO GET TO THE BIG
ISSUE RIGHT NOW THAT IS THE
CDC HAS NOT YET SENT THOSE
FULL TEST KITS TO MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY AND THAT COULD PROVE TO
BE PROBLEMATIC.
THAT MEANS A DELAY IN GETTING
THOSE RESULTS.
END TIME IS REALLY OF THE
ESSENCE HERE.
>> MY CONCERN, OBVIOUSLY AM
CONCERNED FOR IT.
>> IS THE CORONAVIRUS HAS
CITIES ON EDGE ACROSS THE
GLOBE, MIAMI-DADE ASSURED
RESIDENTS THAT THE COUNTY IS
PREPARED.
A HURRICANE PREP LIKE MEETING
ALREADY HAPPENING BETWEEN
DEPARTMENT HEADS.
HEALTH OFFICIALS, AND FIRST
RESPONDERS TO MAKE SURE
EVERYONE IS UP TO SPEED.
>> THERE ARE NO CASES OF THIS
DISEASE IN THE STATE OF
FLORIDA.
>> STILL THE CDC IS TESTING
SAMPLES FOR MIAMI-DADE AND
SCREENINGS ARE ALREADY ACTIVE
TO MIAMI INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT.
BUT THE CDC HAS FAILED TO SEND
FULL TEST KITS AND
MIAMI-DADE.
THAT MEANS ALL SAMPLES MUST BE
SENT TO CDC.
PLAYING RESULTS TWO DAYS
INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL FIVE
HOUR TURNAROUND.
NOT GOOD.
>> EVERY MOMENT IS CRITICAL.
CMAC COUNTY COMMISSIONER
EXPRESSED CONCERN.
CMAC I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO
MY CONTACTS AND FIND OUT THE
DELAY.
>> MEANTIME IN BROWARD COUNTY
MAYOR IS TAKING NO CHANCES
WHEN IT COMES TO PREPARING FOR
COVE AT 19.
>> WE WILL DO WHAT WE NEED TO
DO TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE IN
OUR COUNTY.
>> BROWARD IS LETTING THE
STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TAKE
THE LEAD IN THIS.
PLANS TO BE TOTALLY
TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC.
MEANTIME SOUTH FLORIDA
RESIDENT SHOULD ALSO BE READY
JUST IN CASE.
>> EVERYBODY HAS BEEN CALLING
LIVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE COMING
IN.
>> THE HOT ITEM RIGHT NOW
WHICH IS LITERALLY FLYING OFF
STORE SHELVES.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE BEST LINE
OF DEFENSE.
MASKS ARE MORE FOR THOSE WHO
ARE ALREADY SICK.
CMAC ANYONE WHO DOES NOT HAVE
A RESPIRATORY ILLNESS A
RESPIRATORY SHOULD NOT BE
WEARING ANY TYPE OF MASS.
WHETHER SURGICAL OR
RESPIRATOR.
SO I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THERE
ARE NO CASES HERE IN FLORIDA
THEY DO NOT RECOMMEND THE
MASK.
THEY ARE RECOMMENDING COMMON
SENSE.
WASH YOUR HANDS THROUGHOUT THE
DAY, AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE AND
STOCK UP ON MEDICINE AND FOOD
FOR YOURSELF FOR YOUR FAMILY
FOR YOUR PETS JUST IN CASE IN
CASE YOU ARE ASKED TO STAY
