Update on COVID-19 in Coral Springs

By David Volz

Governor Ron DeSantis has issued an executive order that rescinds all COVID-19 restrictions. This means that all businesses can open at 100 percent capacity and facial coverings are no longer required for entry. However, the City of Coral Springs will continue to require masks within city facilities. All Florida Department of Heath Broward County vaccine sites no longer require appointments and accept walk-ups.

The Coral Square Mall vaccination site is adding weekend hours to give residents easy access to the vaccine. The site will open on Wednesday, May 19 with new days and hours of operation. It will be open 12 p.m. – 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Due to a decrease in testing, the Florida Department  of Emergency Management will close the Ice Den COVID-19 testing site on May 16.
