In the latest update by the City of Coral Springs, they are following the order by Governor Ron DeSantis by closing all dine-in restaurants, movie theaters, auditoriums, bowling alleys, arcades, and gyms.

This order will expire on March 31.

Both Memorial Healthcare and the National Guard will run the drive-thru testing site at C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines.

Pre-screenings will not be required at the entrance, and testing priority will be given to two main groups: healthcare workers and symptomatic senior citizens 65 and older.

Individuals who will also meet conditions for testing will be symptomatic, people who have been on a cruise or in an infected area, as well as those who are immunocompromised.

The Hazardous Waste Drop-Off available to residents on the first Saturday and Sunday of the month has been suspended until further notice. 

The ‘Slice of Springs’ meeting scheduled for March 30, is canceled.
