Together we are stronger. And together we can make a difference. Due to the current health situation in our community, 10 leading healthcare systems are joining forces, creating CaringForSouthFlorida.org to help keep South Floridians safe and healthy during the pandemic.
We all need to do our part:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds – especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- The CDC recommends that people wear cloth face coverings in public settings, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
- Stay home as much as you can. If you must leave your home, the CDC recommends staying at least six feet from people who are not from your household, in both indoor and outdoor spaces.
For more information on what you can do to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community from COVID-19, see the CDC’s prevention tips. Remember, prevention saves lives. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/index.html

Re-employment Assistance is Available.
The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), which handles unemployment compensation claims, is now allowing paper applications for those unable to complete the online application due to capacity challenges for the online application. This LINK will allow applicants to register with the DEO and apply online or download the paper application. If applying with a paper application, applicants must print, complete and mail the application to DEO. People applying for Re-employment Assistance should first try to use the online application system for expediency; however, due to the high volume of applications and capacity issues, if the system is not responding, paper applications are available. CareerSource Broward one-stop centers also have printed copies of the application and FedEx is offering free printing and mailing of the Re-employment Assistance applications.
