Step Up Volusia

We’re close to the finish line, but now is not the time to let up! Let’s get this done together!

We've been a little quiet lately, but that's also because we've been seeing a shift of people doing the right thing by washing up, backing up and masking up.

We won't win overnight, but we believe progress is being made toward beating this virus and taking our communities back.

Our leaders are also doing a great job in working to provide more testing to our residents. This drive-up testing site at the Volusia County Fairground is having a soft opening today and is one of a handful in the state.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management will offer COVID-19 testing beginning Friday, Aug. 14, at the Volusia County Fair Grounds, 3150 E. New York Ave., DeLand. Testing will be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Tuesdays. The drive-up site will provide both viral and antibody testing. Appointments for viral testing can be made online at www.doineedacovid19test.com/. Learn more at http://ow.ly/zItt50AWUpF.

Pretty simple y’all.

Wash up. Back Up. Mask Up.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has now killed more than 600,000 people worldwide and over 14.4 million people across the globe have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The data is out there that shows doing simple things like washing up, backing up and masking up work.

Let's set aside our own beliefs about the world for a minute and assume masking up alone works.

What if you were told that all we collectively had to do is wear a mask for two months straight in exchange for a decent chance to have our lives back?

Sure the virus wouldn't be eradicated but we could watch sports in person, our kids could go to school again, we could go to church, we could go to concerts, visit festivals, hug a friend, have a cold one at a local watering hole or whatever you used to do in your daily lives.

Would you do it?

CDC Director Robert Redfield told JAMA mask wearing is key because "there is ample evidence" that asymptomatic people are keeping the pandemic alive.
