Activities, The health Department

Via disease surveillance, environmental control, and community-based activities, the health department is committed to ensuring the general public's health and safety. We put forth a lot of effort to maintain everyone's health in our neighbourhood.

How the health department promotes community wellness.

The health division is available to assist.

• For those without insurance or who cannot afford to pay for them, we offer free, private health services. If you have insurance but still need help paying your medical bills, we also provide treatments on a sliding rate.
• We have compiled resources that are accessible online that cover everything from symptoms and treatment options for individuals who may have contracted COVID-19 through tick bites or exposure in a household with someone who has been diagnosed with this illness to what actions should be taken by those residing in areas where cases have been recently reported (such as Colorado).The list includes specific advice on how to prevent contracting this virus while avoiding ticks while outdoors, links to public health websites like the CDC's website as well as other government agencies like the Department of Defense and Homeland Security Service Centers that list the steps taken during each case investigation point, and information about how these cases were reported in detail (DEET).

Drive up and walk up testing methods are used in our COVID-19 testing process.

You may visit a health department location to get tested for CVID-19 if you live in one of the designated Broward County neighbourhoods.

Our team will travel to your preferred location if you are unable to visit one of our facilities.  

Home visits and nursing homes are included in this (when possible). If this seems interesting to you, please give us a call at 954-357-7000 ext. 6888.

Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm, we have walk-in and drive-up testing hours. But, appointments are highly advised because they are necessary for us to produce an accurate test result.

How to keep your family and yourself safe.

safeguarding your family and yourself

• Regularly wash your hands. Hand washing frequently can help keep you healthy.
• When you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth. Use a tissue to cough or sneeze into, then discard it. If there isn't a tissue nearby, sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow to avoid touching anything else with your germ-covered hands!
• While ill, stay at home. Stay home from work and school if you're unwell (with symptoms like a fever or vomiting) until the illness has passed (at least 24 hours). This will help prevent illness among other people as well! If there is an epidemic at your place of employment, avoid going there since you can spread the disease to other people who visit. This is especially important if you interact with clients.
• Avoid being in close proximity to sick people. If someone has respiratory symptoms like coughing, sneezing, runny nose, or red eyes, even if they don't appear to be sick, stay away from them for at least 24 hours after they start. This gives them time to recover before putting other people at risk by returning to public settings. 
• Avoid touching your lips, nose, or eyes since these might spread germs! Wherever possible, try to avoid touching certain bodily parts as this allows germs to enter our bodies through our hands.

How to contribute to halting COVID-19's spread.

• Wash your hands with soap and water frequently. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.

• When you sneeze or cough, cover your mouth. If at all feasible, use a tissue or your upper sleeve.
• Surfaces like doorknobs and light switches that may have been contaminated by COVID-19 should be cleaned and disinfected. It is important to keep in mind that even after cleaning, the virus can still live on surfaces for several days under certain conditions like high temperature or low relative humidity. To remove the virus from any surface for at least 2 hours, mix 1/4 cup bleach with 1 gallon of water (for example, if someone touches a contaminated surface then touches their face).

• Use common sense and refrain from kissing or embracing ill people, or any other form of intimate contact!

What actions are being made to maintain the health of our community.

• Vaccines are being given out to the neighbourhood. Your family, friends, and you will be protected thanks to the vaccination.

• High-risk individuals should receive the immunisation as soon as feasible. 

The following fall within this category:

1• Those who reside with or frequently interact with a high-risk infected person (e.g., family members)

2• Those who have visited regions where cases of the measles are present (e.g., schools)

Learn everything you can about staying healthy during this pandemic.

Most likely, you've heard of COVID-19, a brand-new illness that is sweeping the nation. As COVID-19 is a respiratory virus that spreads through coughing or sneezing, you should limit your contact with others and avoid gathering places in public as much as possible during this pandemic. Until you are no longer contagious, staying at home is your best line of defence against COVID-19 (usually 7 days after symptoms appear).

Conclusion

We trust that this article has given you a better understanding of what is being done to protect our community's safety and health while this pandemic is going on. Although we are making great efforts to remain on top of developments and offer our citizens the greatest treatment, everyone must also play a part.
