Playgrounds and restrooms inside the City of Palm Bay parks will be cleaned and sanitized daily.

The City of Palm Bay has installed protective measures such as sneeze guards in areas visited regularly by the public and implemented occupancy limitations in waiting areas for in-person services at counters.

Signage and floor markings have also been fitted throughout City buildings to maintain social distancing.

The City will continue enhanced facility cleaning and sanitization protocols put in place during the initial COVID-19 response to include the sanitization of frequently touched surfaces such as door handles and stair rails.

To limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the number of person-to-person interactions, the City will continue to facilitate remote and contactless service options.
