The Broward County issued Emergency Order 20-03 issued on March 26, strongly urges individuals to remain home other than to engage in essential activities. Essential businesses like grocery stores and pharmacies are still open. See the order listed below to get all of the details. You can still go for a walk outside. If you are around other people while doing so, practice social distancing — same thing in the grocery store. This means stay 6 ft. away. Limit your grocery shopping. Try to stock up once –maybe get enough for a week. Do NOT hoard.
This Safer at Home order is in place for the protection of public health and to slow the spread of the Coronavirus among the community. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that the United States has the potential to become the center of the COVID-19 pandemic. The State of Florida now has over 2,300 total cases. Miami-Dade, Broward County, and Palm Beach County combined have 55% of Florida cases. It is reported that there are confirmed cases in every Broward County jurisdiction. City officials strongly urge residents to take this order seriously and Stay at Home.
