Dear Library Patron: In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS) will close all its library locations to the public effective Wednesday, March 18 until further notice. During this unprecedented health crisis, we remain committed to serving the needs of the public while also working to ensure the health and safety of our patrons, staff and the community. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and follow the direction and guidelines provided by Miami-Dade County officials, the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We know that many of you who use our library services may have some questions. Here are some things we’d like you to know: Online LibraryWhile our physical locations will be closed for an undetermined length of time, our online library is open and available 24/7 through our website www.mdpls.org. We encourage you to access the many digital resources available with your library card, including eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines, movies and music, plus online learning, training and tutoring and more. Get an eCard (electronic library card)Those who don’t have a library card can apply for an eCard online at ecard.mdpls.org. This electronic card will provide immediate access to the MDPLS online library and other digital content. Mobile AppOur mobile app is also a great way to access our online library and is available for free on iOS and Android. Items Due & Materials on HoldYou do not have to worry about returning any items you have checked out. Due dates for all materials have been extended until regular operations resume. Additionally, as a fine-free library, there is no charge for overdue materials. Pickup dates for requested materials on hold have also been extended. For now, you may continue to place holds or reserve items through the Library’s catalog. We are considering alternate means of getting library materials to our patrons and will update you in the coming days. Customer CareIf you need assistance with your library card or account or have any questions, please email our Customer Care team, available seven days a week, at customercare@mdpls.org or call your local branch.

EEOC ANUNCIA QUE TODA LA AGENCIA TELETRABAJARÁ WASHINGTON. – En respuesta a la actual pandemia del coronavirus, la Comisión Para La Igualdad de Oportunidades en el Empleo (EEOC) de EE. UU. Está implementando el teletrabajo (trabajo remotamente) en toda la agencia. Efectivo de inmediato, todos los empleados, aparte del personal mínimo necesario para manejar el correo, deben trabajar remotamente hasta nuevo aviso.Este paso permite que la EEOC continúe aplicando las leyes antidiscriminatorias laborales nacionales mientras toma medidas para mantener seguros a sus empleados y al público. Antes de esta nueva política, la EEOC ya había implementado el teletrabajo ampliado en varias de sus 53 oficinas en todo el país. La EEOC había anunciado previamente que su oficina de campo y sede en Washington, D.C., habían pasado a teletrabajar al 100% debido a la posible exposición al coronavirus. El 12 de marzo, todas las oficinas de la EEOC comenzaron a recibir quejas de discriminación laboral por teléfono, minimizando los riesgos para la salud de los empleados de la agencia y el público, a la vez garantizando que ningún empleado o solicitante perderá sus derechos según las leyes que aplicamos. Preservar el acceso para poder presentar una queja de discriminación es importante porque las leyes que impone la EEOC tienen plazos dentro de los cuales los empleados y los solicitantes deben presentar quejas de discriminación. Si desea comenzar el proceso de presentar una queja de discriminación, le recomendamos que visite el portal público de la EEOC (https://publicportal.eeoc. Cualquier persona que no pueda usar el portal puede llamar a la EEOC al 1-800-669-4000 para comenzar el proceso de presentar una queja. La EEOC también está alentando a los empleados federales en el proceso de igualdad de oportunidades laborales (EEO) del sector federal a presentar solicitudes de audiencias y apelaciones electrónicamente a través del portal público de la EEOC. Las personas sordas o con problemas de audición pueden comunicarse con la EEOC por videoteléfono al 1-844-234-5122. Si tiene una discapacidad que le impide acceder al portal público o tiene dificultades para acceder al portal, llame al 1-800-669-4000. El liderazgo de la agencia continuará monitoreando esta situación en evolución y proporcionará información adicional a medida que esté disponible.

Governor Ron DeSantis Activates Emergency Bridge
Loan Program for Small Businesses Impacted by COVID-19
Yesterday, Governor Ron DeSantis activated the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program to support small businesses impacted by COVID-19. The bridge loan program, managed by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), will provide short-term, interest-free loans to small businesses that experienced economic injury from COVID-19. Applications will be accepted from March 17, 2020 through May 8, 2020.
“As we mitigate against the spread of COVID-19, the health, safety and well-being of Floridians comes first,” said Governor DeSantis. “I understand the harm mitigation strategies will have on small businesses throughout our state. By activating the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan, we are providing the opportunity for Florida’s small businesses to receive cash immediately to ensure they can lessen the impacts felt as a result of COVID-19.”
The DEO will administer the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program in partnership with the Florida SBDC Network and Florida First Capital Finance Corporation to provide cash flow to businesses economically impacted by COVID-19. The short-term, interest-free loans help bridge the gap between the time the economic impact occurred and when a business secures other financial resources, including payment of insurance claims or longer-term Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. Up to $50 million has been allocated for the program.
“Governor DeSantis has been a true leader in the fight to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and has prioritized the safety of all Floridians,” said Florida Department of Economic Opportunity Executive Director, Ken Lawson. “The Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan will help Florida’s small businesses get through this unsettling time. We appreciate the Governor’s efforts to keep Florida’s small businesses top of mind and our partners at the Florida SBDC Network and Florida First Capital Finance Corporation to help them recover.”
Small business owners with two to 100 employees located in Florida affected by COVID-19 can apply for short-term loans up to $50,000. These loans are interest-free for up to one year and are designed to bridge the gap to either federal SBA loans or commercially available loans. The DEO will work with every borrower to ensure that repayment of the loan isn’t an overwhelming burden. To be eligible, a business must have been established prior to March 9, 2020 and demonstrate economic impacts as a result of COVID-19.

“Mitigating the spread of COVID-19 in Florida must be our number one priority,” said Florida SBDC Network CEO, Mike Myhre. “The Florida SBDC Network stands ready to assist Governor DeSantis and the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity to help small businesses recover as a result of the impacts of COVID-19.”
“We are ready to assist the Governor and state of Florida to deliver this vital assistance to the small business community we serve, as we have 23 times since 1992,” said Florida First Capital Finance Corporation President and CEO, Todd Kocourek.
DEO is currently surveying businesses throughout the state of Florida who have been impacted by COVID-19. Businesses and non-profits can access the Business Damage Assessment survey at FloridaDisaster.BIZ. Select “COVID-19” from the drop-down menu on the survey page. Response to the Business Damage Assessment survey is not an application for assistance. Businesses interested in the bridge loan program must fill out a bridge loan application.

9 de marzo de 2020
El mes pasado, le advertimos que se mantuviera atento a los estafadores que aprovechan los temores que rodean al coronavirus. Hoy, tenemos una actualización.
La FTC y la FDA han emitido en conjunto cartas de advertencia a siete vendedores de productos no aprobados y mal etiquetados que declaran que pueden tratar o prevenir el coronavirus. Los productos de las compañías incluyen algunos tipos de té, aceites esenciales y plata coloidal. La FTC dice que las compañías no tienen evidencia para respaldar sus declaraciones, como lo exige la ley. La FDA dice que no hay vacunas, medicamentos o productos de investigación aprobados actualmente disponibles para tratar o prevenir el virus.
Las siete compañías son:
- Vital Silver
- Aromatherapy Ltd.
- N-ergetics
- GuruNanda, LLC
- Vivify Holistic Clinic
- Herbal Amy LLC
- The Jim Baker Show
En parte, las cartas exigen a las compañías que, dentro de un plazo de 48 horas, notifiquen a la FTC las medidas específicas que han adoptado para abordar las inquietudes de la agencia. La FTC y la FDA harán los seguimientos respectivos a las compañías que no realicen las correcciones adecuadas. Ambas agencias también continuarán monitoreando las redes sociales, los mercados en línea y las quejas entrantes para ayudar a garantizar que las compañías no continúen comercializando productos fraudulentos con un nombre diferente o en otro sitio web.
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) dicen que su mejor defensa contra el coronavirus es:
- Lavarse las manos con frecuencia con agua y jabón durante al menos 20 segundos. Si no hay agua y jabón disponibles, use un desinfectante para manos con base de alcohol. Siempre lávese las manos con agua y jabón si las manos están visiblemente sucias.
- Evite tocarse la cara, especialmente los ojos, la nariz y la boca, con las manos sin lavar.
- Evite el contacto cercano con personas que están enfermas.
- Quédese en casa cuando esté enfermo.
- Cubra su tos o estornude con un pañuelo desechable, luego tírelo a la basura.
- Limpie y desinfecte los artículos y las superficies que se tocan con frecuencia con un spray o paño de limpieza doméstico. Siga las recomendaciones de CDC para usar una mascarilla.
- Los CDC no recomiendan que las personas que están bien usen una mascarilla para protegerse de enfermedades respiratorias, incluidos el COVID-19.
- Las personas que muestran síntomas de COVID-10 deben usar mascarillas para ayudar a prevenir la propagación de la enfermedad a otras personas.
- El uso de mascarillas también es crucial para los trabajadores de la salud y las personas que cuidan a alguien en entornos cercanos (en el hogar o en un centro de atencion médica).
- Manténgase informado. Para obtener más información sobre el coronavirus, visite la página de preguntas frecuentes de los CDC. Visite la FDA para aprender sobre el desarrollo y la aprobación de tratamientos para el coronavirus.
Si tiene la tentación de comprar un producto no probado o uno con declaraciones cuestionables, consulte primero con su médico u otro profesional de la salud.
