I haven't been there in a while but I wonder if they require masks downtown before entering the building where the county commissioners hold their meetings because they've surely left other county buildings out in the cold. They at least suggest it if you ride ECAT but the tax collector and library employees seem to be at a high risk.

I hope they have made contact with all that may have been affected. I was there, in line, waiting, as they opened last Friday morning and was out by 840.

If you feel like you MIGHT have been exposed, go get tested. Testing is free and readily available. Mr. Lunsford, and his staff, have no way of knowing if a customer has Covid-19 at any point in time so there's no way they could have prevented this. I'd say based on their response and how they've handled it all up to this point they're one of the few businesses in Escambia county actually being responsible and taking community safety seriously. @Molino Tax Payer

When was the office deep cleaned from the Friday exposure date? I was there on MONDAY. Wore a mask. But noticed they did have a full house of employees inside and two employees outside. Please let us know if we need to be tested too. We have loved ones and friends who are at risk and we cannot afford exposing them. How soon after exposure can you get tested & show true results? How long do the COVID tests results take to get back? Contacting people isn’t to create a panic. It’s a responsibility for safety of those in our community.

I certainly hope the libraries etc are not fully reopened to this horrible, rapidly spreading virus and they take care and care for the public and their employees.
