As COVID-19 hospitalizations continue to decline, Escambia County will discontinue the COVID-19 dashboard featuring daily hospitalization updates and weekly death totals effective Saturday, Nov. 6. The last day Escambia County will track local hospitalizations and death totals will be Friday, Nov. 5.

The Escambia County COVID-19 webpage will continue to be updated and includes a comprehensive list of testing sites, vaccination locations, prevention tips, resources and news releases.

"We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation with our healthcare partners," said Escambia County Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore. "As long as the hospitalizations remain under 50, we are going to discontinue the COVID-19 dashboard after Friday, Nov. 5." 

If you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, please contact the FDOH Call Center (866-779-6121) or FDOH-Escambia’s number (850-595-6500) prior to traveling to any physician’s office, emergency department, hospital, or urgent care center, to ensure proper protective measures are taken to prevent further risk of spread to others. If possible, also review your signs, symptoms and travel history with your physician over the phone. Your physician will evaluate you for other possible causes of respiratory illness and also contact the county health department to access COVID-19 testing. If you are without health insurance or a health care provider, please contact your county health department so the health department can coordinate your medical evaluation and testing.

Most people with confirmed COVID-19 infection reportedly have mild to moderate respiratory illness and can be managed at home in coordination with their health care provider and local health department. Persons with severe illness may be hospitalized.
