ORLANDO, Fla. Florida marks the first day of August with 9,642 new cases of coronavirus, as emergency management officials are challenged to tame a pandemic while overtaking a hurricane.

Hurricane Isaiah: State-run COVID-19 test sites closed on Thursday due to the approaching storm. This will be the first time during the pandemic that Florida is on the trail of a storm. Florida residents’ storm plans are likely to look different this year due to COVID-19 concerns, including in storm shelters. Flagler County shelters will have separate areas for those who know they have COVID-19 or are showing symptoms of the virus, according to EOC officials.
Renting, foreclosure recovery continues: DeSantis has extended the eviction moratorium for another month. The executive order was set to expire on August 1st. What is set to end on Saturday, unless lawmakers intervene, is a federal eviction moratorium that has protected millions of tenants. This will not affect Florida residents protected by state order.
Nursing homes prepare: During a press conference in Tampa, Governor Ron DeSantis said 100% of nursing homes had generators operating and complied with state regulations.
