UNABLE TO PAY RENT? CONCERNED ABOUT EVICTION?
JALA has created this visual guide to understanding eviction protections during the pandemic: http://ow.ly/96CB50zj6xG

Remember that a landlord cannot legally evict a tenant without a court order. It is illegal for your landlord to lock you out, turn off utilities like electric or water, remove the front door, or take other steps to force you to move.

You may also be eligible for free legal help through JALA: https://www.jaxlegalaid.org/apply/

People at higher risk include older adults and people who have chronic medical conditions such as lung and heart disease, as well as diabetes.

If there is substantial spread in your area, all gatherings should be cancelled.
