LTC 135-2020 PREPARATION AND RESPONSE TO CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)MI A MI B E A CH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER NO. L TC# LETT ER TO C O M M ISSIO N TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members o FRow: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager 1 )pis DATE: March 12, 2020 SUBJECT: PREPARATION AND RESPONSE O CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) In response to the World Health Organization classifying the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak as a pandemic along with emergency declarations from both Governor Ron Desantis and County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, I issued an Emergency Declaration - recognizing that it's important for everyone to do their part to prevent the spread of this virus. Miami Beach is a global tourism destination with large scale events and a high population density. These unique factors make it clear that robust actions are reasonable to keep our residents safe and healthy. The actions are consistent with the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) community mitigation guiding principles, which are designed to help slow the spread of virus infections. The State of Emergency emphasizes individual responsibility at the personal level, empowers business and community organizations to follow suit, and provides special attention and services to vulnerable populations that are at an increased risk of severe illness. Miami Beach is a resilient city, and our ability to bounce back as quickly as possible depends on our ability to prevent the spread of the virus. This requires a holistic set of actions that affect all of us, including residents, businesses, visitors and employees. Proactive Mitigation Measures Even before the first case in South Florida was identified, the city began implementing proactive mitigation measures ranging from preparedness to emergency activation. The city began daily calls with directors since Monday March 2° and the Mayor and Commission on Monday March 9. The summary of activities includes: 1. Developed and Implemented Public Safety Protocols • Emergency Management began monitoring COVID-19 once the World Health Organization announced of the occurrence of the novel coronavirus in December 2019. • Developed Emergency Medical Services (EMS) response protocols in January 2020, including coordinating with the Epidemiology and Infection Control Teams at Mount Sinai Medical Center. • Developed a situation-specific (COVID-19) emergency management response plan, as well as standard operating procedures for specific situations. • Issued seven Situation Reports to-date as a snapshot of the most recent updates. • Emerging Infectious Disease Surveillance (E.I.D.S) protocol implemented by 9-1- 1 call-takers and dispatchers. • Following Incident Command System (ICS) protocols, Emergency Management activated the Planning, Operations, Logistics and Finance sections. • In response to the outbreak, and in order to coordinate efforts of all City departments, EOC is activated at a Level II, for enhanced monitoring, extended hours (and because we are activated for both the COVID-19 activity and Spring Break). 1 135 - 2020 • D is p a t c h p re -s c re e n in g s a r e in p la c e w h e n c a ll s fo r s e rv ic e a r e re q u e s te d (fo r e x a m p le , w e ll n e s s c h e c k s ) to e n s u r e p ro p e r re s p o n s e to ill o r im p a ir e d in d iv id u a ls .

Working with Agency Partners • Attending meetings with county and city officials to closely coordinate efforts, participating in federal and state calls, and attending/watching all regional press conferences. 3. Special Attention to Vulnerable Population • • • • • • • Conducted proactive outreach to elder-serving, residential housing properties . Provided bilingual flyers containing steps people can take to stop the spread of COVID-19 as well as information on recognizing the symptoms and advice on actions people should take if they are not feeling well. Provided prevention information to all residents in city-owned residential properties. Notified non-profit agency providers asking that they stay abreast of city directives and plan to respond to emerging conditions so that critical community resources are impacted as minimally as possible. Verified that elder congregate meal providers are prepared to shift from a congregate delivery model to a home delivery model. Most meal providers serve clients residing at the same site as their congregate delivery; the city is working with UNIDAD to ensure that this site, which serves scattered site clients, will be able to ensure food delivery to its client roster of shelf-stable meals. Reached out to our homeless shelter providers to ensure that they have enacted steps on-site to safeguard clients and minimize exposure and spread. Transitioning our counseling clients from a home-based delivery model to a telephonic model to limit exposure for clients and providers. The city is exploring contractual and funding issues to enable this transition. Awaiting direction from The Children's Trust regarding the delivery of after-school programming in the event schools are closed as a precautionary measure. 4. Empowering Individuals and Families • • • • • • Sharing messaging from agency partners to keep residents safe. This includes daily e-blasts, sharing information about cancellations and reminders of the benefits of taking flu shots and other updated information. A topic-specific web page was created and included on the top link of the city website. Created a video with the Mayor and Manager in English and Spanish to encourage proper safe hygiene and social distancing. CDC videos are being aired on MBTV and all trolley monitors .

Public Transportation City of Miami Beach trolleys are operated by Limousines of South Florida (LSF). In addition to standard daily cleaning practices, LSF is increasing the frequency of cleaning to help protect passengers from the spread of COVID-19. In particular, "high touch" areas, including buttons, handholds, pull cords, and rails are being cleaned more frequently. On Friday, March 13, LSF will deploy a dedicated sanitation van and personnel to sanitize all trolley vehicles during the mid-day shift change, seven days a week. Personnel is performing a "deep cleaning" of every Miami Beach trolley vehicle using industrial grade CDC-approved sanitizing products. Availability of hand sanitizing gels and wipes is limited, however trolleys are equipped with them when possible. The city is in the process of hiring temporary help for continuous cleaning, as procedures are in place for cleaning after each route circuit is completed. 11. Small Business Assistance • • • • Grants and Intergovernmental Affairs is identifying resources that will be forthcoming to assist small businesses affected by the pandemic. They will work with the Economic Development Department to engage in outreach to businesses. 12. Funding • Grants and Intergovernmental Affairs is monitoring state and federal funding for COVID-19. Letters have been prepared for Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rick Scott and Congresswoman Donna Shalala requesting immediate funds to ensure an effective response to COVID-19 and the continued safety of our residents and tourists. Please note that we have all been through many trying times including hurricanes, Zika, building collapses and this is no different. This administration is fully prepared to pull the city through this and come out stronger for it. While staff are examining ways to limit exposure including reducing gathering areas and meetings, holding meetings via phone and other ideas, we will be ensuring that city services will be open for residents and businesses.

Morales, City Manager DATE: March 10, 2020 RE: Coronavirus-COVID-19 Employee Advisory The purpose of this memorandum is to communicate information to City employees related to COVID-19. More importantly, we want to minimize the threat of COVID-19 exposure while at work. It is crucial that the entire workforce take precautionary measures and remain aware of any and all developments related to the virus, its current transmission, and the effect to our work environment. Additional advisories will be provided as the situation changes. H ig h lig hts o f this A dv is ory If you have flu-like symptoms - coughing, have a fever or shortness of breath - STAY HOME. All travel for City business is hereby cancelled until further notice. Exceptions must be approved by the City Manager. If you are planning personal travel outside the State of Florida, especially to high risk areas, carefully consider that decision. While the City cannot restrict your personal travel, we are requiring advance notification of your travel to Human Resources. We may restrict your return to work if you display symptoms or have traveled to a high-risk location to protect our workplace and customers. You will be required to use your own sick leave while in self- or imposed quarantine. However, if you have followed the directives of the CDC, FDOH, and the City, including not traveling as of the date of this memo to areas designated as "Level 3" and "Level 2" areas, we will provide special administrative leave (not charged to your personal leave) if you test positive for COVID-19 until you are released by your physician. R e p o rt su sp e cte d o r co n firm e d e xp o su re to C O V ID -19 to H u m a n R e so u rce s-R isk M a n a g e m e n t before you report to work at 305-673-7524 during the workday or at 305- 389-7132 afterhours and weekends. You may also email HRER@miamibeachfl.gov. Furthermore, you should immediately call the Florida Department of Health at 305-324- 2400. Any work from home arrangements, if applicable, must be discussed with Human Resources and approved by the City Manager. What is Coronavirus? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ("CDC"), Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. The disease it causes is called COVID-19. The complete clinical picture about COVID-19 is not fully understood. Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe, including illness resulting in death. While information so far suggests that most COVID-19 illness is mild, a report out of China suggests serious illness occurs in 16% of cases. Older people and people with certain underlying health conditions like heart disease, lung disease and diabetes, for example, seem to be at greater risk of serious illness. For additional information please visit one of the websites at the bottom of this advisory. Disclose Exposure Report suspected or confirmed exposure to COVID-19 to Human Resources-Risk Management before you report to work at 305-673-7524 during the workday or at 305- 389-7132 afterhours and weekends. You may also email HRER@miamibeachfl.gov. Furthermore, you should immediately call the Florida Department of Health at 305-324- 2400. City Business Travel Advisory All travel for City business is hereby cancelled until further notice. Exceptions must be approved by the City Manager. 2 Personal Travel Advisory Employees who plan to travel must check the CDC website under Travelers' Health (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/notices/) for guidance and to identify which countries or regions are classified as "Level 3" or "Level 2" areas. The CDC recommends that all nonessential travel to these countries or regions be avoided. This warning indicates that the outbreak is of high risk to travelers and no precautions are available to protect against the identified increased risk. City employees who have traveled to China, Italy, Iran and South Korea, or to any additional "Level 3" designated area within the last 14 days (or since February 20, 2020) must contact Human Resources-Risk Management immediately at 305-673-7524 or email HRER@miamibeachfl.gov. Additionally, employees who have traveled to a "Level 2" designated area such as Japan, or on a cruise ship, or to Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, must also notify Human Resources-Risk Management. Per CDC and the Florida Department of Health ("FDOH") guidelines, individuals returning from these areas who have no flu-like symptoms must stay home and monitor their health for fourteen (14) days after returning. During their self-quarantine period, employees will use their sick or other earned personal leave for their regular schedule and will not be penalized for so doing. An employee under self- or imposed quarantine may request through their Department Director to work from home. A determination will be made after recommendation from Human Resources AND only if approved at the sole discretion of the City Manager. All leave requests for personal domestic travel out of the State of Florida shall be provided to the Human Resources Department via email at HRER@miamibeachfl.gov for tracking purposes. At this time, the City will not deny leave based on location of travel, but could restrict your return to the workplace to protect the health and safety of the City's workforce if an area to which you have traveled becomes classified as a "Level 3" or "Level 2" area, or if you are exhibiting any symptoms of the COVID-19. Should a significant outbreak occur in a location in which you have traveled, then you may be subject to additional restrictions guided by this policy, by health officials, and by health advisories. Please review the CDC's Frequently Asked Questions and Answers at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/faqs. html. Symptoms and Use of Sick Leave If an employee has flu-like symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing and/or severe illness}, the employee must seek medical care as soon as possible and follow medical instructions. Employees who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19, should call the FDOH at 305-324-2400 prior to traveling to any medical office or facility. 3 D u r in g t h e t im e t h a t a n e m p lo y e e f e e ls s ic k , is o b t a in in g a te s t , a n d is w a it in g fo r te s t r e s u lt s , e m p lo y e e s w ill u s e t h e ir o w n s ic k o r o t h e r p e r s o n a l le a v e .

H e lpfu l P re c a utions The helpful precautions outlined below apply in these current conditions as well as during any cold or flu season. Taking steps toward prevention is key. This includes: • Stay home if you have flu-like symtoms in order not to cause the spread of any virus to your coworkers or to the greater community. A manager has the right to send an employee home if they are exhibiting symptoms and may be contagious. Departmental call-out procedures apply. • Do not hesitate to seek guidance from your healthcare provider if you are feeling ill. Employees enrolled in the City's health insurance plans through Cigna have access to telemedicine services. Take steps today to connect through myCigna.com; information about how to register is found in the enclosed flyer. • Prepare in advance with supplies such as tissues, hand soap, hand sanitizer containing more than 60% alcohol, and relief medication.

There are no known or reported cases of the virus in the City of Miami Beach, Miami Dade County, or the State of Florida. All measures up to this point are precautionary and educational in nature as there is no threat to Miami Beach residents, businesses or visitors. Emergency Management has been working in conjunction with Fire EMS, MBPD, Mount Sinai Medical Center Epidemiology and Infectious Disease Working Group and the Miami-Dade County Office of Emergency Management, as well as with other local fire departments. The City Manager's Office, Department of Marketing and Communications, Fire EMS, and DEM are in continuous communication and have established both internal and external messaging parameters. Pandemic planning and an SOP specific to COVID-19 response are in place. All protective actions, educational material, and guidelines must be in strict compliance with CDC guidelines. WORLD HEAL TH ORGANIZATION {WHO) UPDATES On December 31, 2019, China alerted WHO to several cases of an unusual respiratory illness in the port city of Wuhan. By January 5, 2020, it was determined that this illness was not a recurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), but was a novel (new) virus. On January 7, officials identified novel virus 2019-nCoV, which was later named COVID-19. WHO releases regular updates on their website. UNITED STATES Imported cases of COVID-19 in travelers were detected in the United States. Person-to- person spread of COVID-19 also has been seen among close contacts of returned travelers from China, but at this time, NO confirmed community spreading has been identified in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is closely monitoring the COVID- 19 outbreak in the United States and is the source of accurate information on the situation in this country. Page 1 of 4 MIAMI BEACH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COVID-19 - SITUATION REPORT #1 2/28/2020 1100 HOURS STATE OF FLORIDA No cases have been reported in Florida to date. Florida Department of Health (FDOH) will post information on their website if any suspected cases are investigated, confirmed, contained and reported. MIAMI DADE COUNTY Miami-Dade County released a COVID-19 briefing with information about actions being taken by municipalities, large institutions such as hospitals and universities, and County departments. The Miami-Dade Office of Emergency Management and the Miami-Dade County Office of the Florida Department of Health have established lines of communication with these entities, in order to assure accurate dissemination of information. There are NO reported cases of COVID-19 in Miami-Dade County. MIAMI BEACH No cases have been reported in the City of Miami Beach. The Public Safety Communications Division (PSCD) (911) HAS NOT received any calls related to confirmed cases of COVID-19. Information that is disseminated through the City of Miami Beach, whether internally or to the public, will only be through the Marketing and Communications Department, with guidance and approval of ACM Alina Hudak and DEM. • ACM Alina Tejeda Hudak is the point person for all issues and activities related to COVID-19 in Miami Beach. • DEM, EMS and Public Safety Communications developed a Response and Communications Plan. • Fire EMS has an SOP in place for patient interaction. • EMS and DEM continue to meet with Mount Sinai Medical Center Epidemiology Working Group to coordinate procedures for patient hand-off. • Human Resources Risk Management disseminated flyers with CDC information to all department heads. • Miami Beach Police are purchasing masks and hand sanitizer for all patrol units and are being briefed on the EMS SOPs. • Communications and Marketing continue to provide messaging for the public. • Human Resources/Risk Management provided information from our health insurance carrier to City employees, distributed via email. • Recommendations were made to increase janitorial environmental cleaning at Miami Beach Convention Center, utilizing common sense protocols to avoid spread of contagious diseases. Page 2 of 4 MIAMI BEACH EM ERG EN C Y M A NAGEMENT COVID-19 - SITUATION REPORT #1 2/28/2020 1100 HOURS SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS For confirmed Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases, reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness. The symptoms are similar to the cold and flu. A person exhibiting these signs and symptoms does not mean they are suspect for Coronayirus, but they should seek medical assistance. • Fever • Cough • Shortness of breath When signs and symptoms are presented, it is important to gather pertinent information, specifically: 1) Has recent travel involved visits to high risk countries (example China, North Korea, Iran); 2) Has patient had exposure to a confirmed or suspected patient; Confirmation can only be obtained through LABORA TORY testing The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) believes at this time that symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as many as 14 days after exposure. This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period. PREVENTION There is currently no vaccine to prevent Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to take the same recommended measures to avoid exposure to the flu or common cold. CDC always recommends everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including: • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe. • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. • If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty. Page 3 of 4 MIAMI BEACH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COVID-19 - SITUATION REPOR T #1 2/28/2020 1100 HOURS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS Openly communicate with department employees. The ability to discuss and help educate is our first line of defense. Standard Practice for Prevention of Flu and Common Cold • Employees who have symptoms of acute respiratory illness must notify their supervisor if they are sick and are recommended to remain home and not report to work until: o They are free of fever (100.4º F [37.8º C]). o They are free of signs of any other symptoms for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing or other symptom-altering medicines (e.g. cough suppressants). • Ensure flu-prevention supplies are available in your department. Have supplies on hand for workers, such as soap, hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol, tissues, trash baskets. • Perform routine environmental cleaning: Routinely clean all frequently touched surfaces in the workplace, such as workstations, countertops, and doorknobs. Use the cleaning agents that are usually used in these areas and follow the directions on the label. • Prevent the dissemination of information that has not been vetted by Emergency Management. • Ensure employee access to education and prevention documents. Posters are available and can be obtained by contacting the Marketing and Communications Officer at 305-673-7575. Misinformation leads to unwarranted concern and fear. Avoid the rumor mill. It is important to stress that there is no known threat to our residents or Miami Dade County. The need for concise validated information is paramount. All information regarding this issue will be coordinated through Marketing and Communications to ensure the information is consistent with CDC data. The situation continues to develop. DEM will continue to monitor and provide information as warranted.
