Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Juvenile Welfare Board continues to work closely with the Florida Department of Health, Pinellas County Government, Pinellas County Schools, and others during the pandemic to support our funded agencies and to share resources for children and families.

- Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for 20 seconds, or use a hand sanitizer with 60% alcohol.
- Practice social (physical) distancing, staying at least 6′ apart from others.
- Wear a mask when in public or when social distancing is not possible.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth, and cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue.
