Leon County

Leon County Health officials are urging caution as families begin making Halloween plans this year. The Health Department's Claudia Blackburn has tips on keeping kids safe from coronavirus concerns while still having fun. She says if families attend events, they should stick with people they already regularly see.

Leon County's mask mandate will stay in place for the time being. The county won't have much recourse if people ignore the rule. An executive order signed by Governor Ron DeSantis last week blocks local governments from collecting fines associated with mask ordinances. But county officials say that might not be as significant a change as some would think.

In Leon County, voters have been heading to the polls to cast their ballots in the primary election.

Leon County will soon offer financial assistance to businesses, human service agencies, and households impacted by COVID-19. The Leon CARES program has up to $51.2-million in federal funding available to help with essential public health and safety expenses.

As coronavirus cases continue rising in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis is dismissing calls for a statewide order requiring people to wear face masks. That's led several counties to pass face mask ordinances to prevent the virus from spreading. However, those moves are not without push-back.

Leon County Commissioner Bryan Desloge says the county may have to raise taxes to cope with the coronavirus revenue hit.
