More Coronavirus updates – Publix edition

Publix to close at 8 p.m. daily

Publix has announced it will close stores earlier each night to better serve customers during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a social media post.

Beginning Saturday, all Publix locations will close at 8 p.m. until further notice.

The grocery store chain said the extra hours will give teams time to conduct additional sanitation and restock product.


Schools
Escambia and Santa Rosa public and parochial schools are closed until March 27, per recommendation of the Florida Department of Education. I assume other private schools may do the same.

Additional recommendations for schools and districts during spring break include:
· Canceling all extracurricular activities.
· Developing or perfecting the district or school instructional continuity plans.
· Deep cleaning each school.

“Keeping students healthy and safe is my number one priority, and that is why we are recommending that districts follow the CDC’s guidance for Florida,” said Commissioner of Education Richard Corcoran. “We are continuing to monitor COVID-19, and I encourage all Floridians to remain informed and take the necessary precautions that have been issued by the CDC.”
