Florida temporarily shutters emergency operations center after 12 employees contract COVID-19
By John Bowden - 07/16/20 08:43 PM EDT

Officials in Florida were forced to shutter the Division of Emergency Management's operations center on Thursday due to an outbreak of coronavirus.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that 12 staffers in the building have tested positive for COVID-19, and were self-quarantining. The rest will reportedly vacate the building as it is deep-cleaned, according to the Times.

"We’ve been conducting biweekly testing at the EOC for several weeks & mandated masks. The Division has had several positives throughout that period. Those individuals have been isolated while we continue to test. We also instituted teleworking at the EOC & remain at a level 1," the agency said on Twitter.
