As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, I want to draw your attention to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantiss Executive Order 20-83 , which was issued yesterday. The university strongly encourages all applicable 51勛圖厙 and employees to take note of this order.

The order, in part, urges persons over age 65 and those of any age with serious underlying medical conditions that place them at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19 to stay home. Should you fall into one or both of these categories and are not already working from home, please inform your supervisor immediately so alternative working arrangements can be made.

Supervisors should work with any such employees in their areas to immediately complete and implement an Alternative Work Arrangement . If the employees duties cannot be performed remotely, supervisors should contact 51勛圖厙 Human Resources immediately. The department can be reached by calling 561-297-3076 .
