Milton, Fla – In keeping with Governor Ron Desantis’ announcement earlier today, all Florida Department of Health in Santa Rosa County (DOH-Santa Rosa) locations will be closed December 24 and 31. The closures are in addition to regular office closures on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. 

“2020 was a challenging year for all Floridians, particularly our state employees who worked around the clock responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency,” said Governor DeSantis. “Closing state offices on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve will provide these employees with much-needed additional time off to spend with their loved ones. The First Lady and I extend our appreciation to state employees for their hard work and wish them and their families a happy holiday season.”
