PBC HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUES UPDATES ON NEXT PHASE OF COVID-19 RESPONSE
As Florida approaches nearly 10 million Floridians vaccinated, COVID-19 testing is being transitioned to a locally-led effort through primary care providers, retail and pharmacy locations, county health departments under the Florida Department of Health (DOH), and local governments. As a part of this transition, the Palm Beach County Health Department will continue to coordinate with local community providers to ensure testing access for all Floridians.
COVID-19 Testing Sites:
It is important to note that COVID-19 testing services will continue to be offered at the local level, including at all county health departments.

COUNTY FACIAL COVERING AND SOCIAL DISTANCING REVISED POLICY ISSUED 05/17/21
Until further notice, based on the most recent recommendations of the CDC citing individuals who are fully vaccinated may go without a mask inside buildings and in consultation with the Director of the Florida Department of Health for Palm Beach County, effective Tuesday, May 18, 2021, all fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a mask inside County buildings. Fully vaccinated equates to a person receiving both shots of Moderna or Pfizer and beyond the 14 day waiting period after the second shot or the J&J one shot vaccine beyond the 14 day waiting period. However, the CDC further recommends that individuals who are not fully vaccinated continue to wear masks indoors and in large crowds. Masks will continue to be worn on all public transit (buses, planes and trains) transportation hubs in accordance with federal policy and all other exemptions per the CDC.
County Property includes all County-owned and County-leased buildings where Palm Beach County's offices, divisions, and departments conduct business. Constitutional Offices that operate in County Buildings should be contacted regarding their individual mask policy.
Law Enforcement is authorized to issue a trespass warning and remove any individuals not in compliance with this policy.
