Palm Beach County to heed CDC guidelines on use of cloth masks
Alex Berrios, vice chairman for the Democratic Party in Palm Beach County, said DeSantis executive order undermines home rule and sows chaos. It s going to create unnecessary confusion and conflicts in local businesses, Berrios said. It s going to be applied differently in different areas. I would anticipate that other counties are going to be happy to go along with the governor s executive order and then there are going to be other places, like Palm Beach County, where it is not going to be well-received.

3 mass COVID vaccination sites to close in Palm Beach County
Palm Beach Post
With interest in getting a COVID-19 vaccine waning, Palm Beach County health officials are planning to close their three mass vaccination sites by the end of May and take the shots on the road.
While officials expected demand to increase this month when state residents as young as 16 became eligible to get vaccinated, instead it has tanked, Darcy Davis, CEO of the county’s health care district, told county commissioners on Tuesday.
Vaccination centers at the South Florida Fairgrounds, the South County Civic Center in Delray Beach and the Burns Road Community Center in Palm Beach Gardens are operating at 50% capacity this week because no one signed up for 10,000 of the 16,000 slots that were available, she said.
