According to the governor’s office, Florida Department of Health will actively monitor, at a minimum, all persons meeting the definition of a Person Under Investigation (“PUI”) as defined by the CDC for COVID-19 for a period of at least 14 days or until the PUI tests negative for COVID-19. Active monitoring by the Florida Department of Health will include at least the following: * Risk assessment within 24 hours of learning an individual meets the criteria for a PUI * Twice-daily temperature checks DeSantis will hold a press conference at the Florida Department of Health 10:30 a.m. in Tampa and 2 p.m. in Miami-Dade County Monday. The CDC currently recommends mitigation measures in communities with COVID-19 cases, including staying at home when sick, keeping away from others who are sick and staying at home when a household member is sick with respiratory disease symptoms or if instructed to do so by public health officials or a health care provider.
