COVID patients evacuated after an outage at a Dania Beach assisted living facility

Dania Beach, Florida – Friday afternoon 16 residents of a Dania Beach assisted living facility were evacuated by rescue crews after part of the facility lost power.
According to officials, the outage shortly after 2 p.m. affected patients at the Residence at Dania Beach who were quarantined with COVID-19. They were transferred to area hospitals because they could not be safely moved to another area of the community.
They are expected to be OK and to be returned to the assisted living facility soon.
Power has since been restored at the facility at 150 Stirling Road where nearly 100 people receive care. An administrator there said a downed tree in the area caused the outage. Florida Power & Light workers were at the scene getting the power back on.
