Pasco County Issues Local State of Emergency Pasco EOC operating at Level Two Activation status; monitoring COVID-19
The declaration allows the County Administrator and Emergency Management Director to waive everyday procedures and do what they feel is necessary to ensure the health, safety and welfare of the community. This includes: performing public work, making emergency purchases, renting equipment, hiring workers, using volunteers, etc.
The Local State of Emergency will be in effect for 7 days or until rescinded by the County Administrator if it’s no longer needed.
The Pasco County Emergency Operations Center is operating at Level Two Activation status. Pasco County Emergency Management is monitoring conditions and responding, as necessary, to any issues that might arise.
Pasco County urges you to rely on official sources for information, and reminds you that practicing personal hygiene is your best defense:
Wash your hands often with soap & water, Cover your coughs & sneezes with your arm, not your hands and If you’re sick, please stay home & avoid crowds

Protect yourself and your community from COVID-19. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the batroom, before eating, and after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use an aclohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Avoid close contact with people who are sick, and stay home when you are sick.
The elderly and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems and diabetes are more likely to develop serious illness. Wash your hands with soap & water. Cover your coughs & sneezes with your arm, not your hands. If you're sick, stay at home & avoid crowds.
