The Florida Department of Health in Duval County on Tuesday issued a rabies alert for an area of the Westside.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. In order for a face mask to be effective, it must cover the mouth and nose period. We have seen people frequently wearing their face covering over their mouth but below their nose. When wearing it or removing it, Rolle said, you need to avoid touching the inside where that virus could be trapped so you dont spread it. To avoid contaminating their masks, Rolle demonstrated how the mask should be stored. Dont wear the same mask every day if it has not been washed, and make sure you change the filter, as well, Rolle explained.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Doctors say COVID-19 reinfection is possible because, although you may build up immunity after the first infection, there is no guarantee that immunity to the virus is permanent. When it comes to studying COVID-19, Dr. Pauline Rolle of the Florida Department of Health in Duval County says the topic of immunity following a COVID-19 infection continues to baffle doctors treating the illness. Another baffling question is why some patients are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms well beyond the two-week quarantine period. According to Rolle, an extended period of COVID-19 symptoms is happing in every age group that gets infected. Its worth noting that because COVID-19 is constantly being studied by scientists all over the world, information about symptoms and immunity continues to evolve.
