The latest Florida COVID-19 numbers show a small increase in Sebastian, Fellsmere, Barefoot Bay, and Vero Beach. While our local coronavirus numbers are rising, Sebastian is doing good compared to other cities and counties.

The number of deaths are rising slightly in Indian River County, with two COVID-19 related deaths since yesterday. Data from the state health department shows that most people between ages 25 to 34 years old are now contracting the virus.

We need to come together as a community and wear masks, wash hands regularly, and practice social distancing to prevent another Florida shut down. We ask everyone to help so that we can stop the spread of COVID-19.
