Walton County Emergency Management
April 21

Walton County Beaches are Closed. No Date Set for Re-opening.

On April 30 or May 1, it is anticipated that Governor Ron DeSantis will take action regarding the "Safe at Home" order and the "Short-term Rental Ban". Pending action by the Governor, the Walton County Board of County Commissioners believes that it would be prudent to wait until that time, assess any information provided by the Governor, and make any decisions regarding the beach at that time.

Does anyone know any of the backstory of the SRB cases? We (SRB) seem to be the problem in WC and I'd like to know if they are similarities between these continuing infections. Common places they've gone, proximity to each other, etc.

That's a great question. I doubt we have sufficient health care personnel to do that sort of tracking. It would seem that with so many people sitting idle, that, perhaps, some "volunteer tracking team" could find out some of this info by phone interviews.
