Keith Dvorchik, executive director of the Federation and the Roth Family JCC, made the decision to close both facilities for two weeks, beginning March 16. They currently plan to reopen March 30. This was the result of the Florida Department of Education announcing that all state schools will remain closed one week beyond Spring Break, reopening March 30 in Orange County.

Dvorchik stressed that there have not be any reported cases of COVID-19 on the JCC campus.

"We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our community... Over the next two weeks we will communicate any new information via email, our website and social media," Dvorchik stated.
