As many of you may already be aware there have been several cases of confirmed COVID-19 within the resort.  Due to HIPPA medical privacy concerns we will not identify any individual that has been confirmed as having COVID.  While the resort is not, technically, covered by the requirements of HIPPA, we are not a Health Care organization and will afford everyone their personal privacy.  Contact tracing is a function of certified Contact Tracers within the Florida Health Department.  Once an individual is confirmed to have COVID through a test the health department should receive a report from the health care provider or testing facility.  That begins the process of the Health Department in performing contact tracing.  As you can see this process could take some time so if anyone does test positive please in addition to quarantining and following those guidelines, advise those that you may have come into contact with so that they may take appropriate action to protect themselves and others.  If you have been exposed please quarantine until you either test negative or the quarantine period has elapsed. 

We do ask that everyone comply with the recommendations and guidelines issued by the CDC.  These guidelines have changed over time, but they still have the same basic recommendations:

To prevent infection and to slow transmission of COVID-19, do the following:

·        Wash your hands regularly with soap and water or clean them with alcohol-based hand rub.

·        Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when in public settings or around others.

·        Maintain at least six feet distance between you and people coughing or sneezing.

·        Avoid touching your face.

·        Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.

·        Stay home if you feel unwell.

·        Refrain from smoking and other activities that weaken the lungs.

·        Practice physical distancing by avoiding unnecessary travel and staying away from large groups of people.

·

We also ask that even though you may believe that you do not have COVID but are feeling unwell or showing any of the symptoms of COVID to follow the quarantine guidelines as if you do have COVID. 

DO NOT GO THE OFFICE, CLUBHOUSE, or other Resort facilities if you are unwell.
