EMERGENCY ORDER TO SHELTER IN PLACE
ISSUED BY BROWARD COUNTY

Broward County issued Emergency Order 20-03 today, announcing a Shelter-in-Place: Safer at Home Policy for residents. This order applies to all cities in Broward County including Hollywood.  All individuals are strongly urged to remain home other than to engage or patronize essential businesses or conduct essential activities (which are defined as the minimum activities necessary to conduct minimum business operations). 
 
Under the order, individual daily outdoor exercise that complies with social distancing guidelines as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is permitted.

Residents and business owners/operators should read the full Emergency Order for details on essential businesses. All businesses that continue to operate throughout the COVID-19 crisis must operate in full compliance with CDC social distancing guidelines.

Additionally, today's Emergency Order defines “essential employees.” The list includes first responders, public health workers, emergency management personnel, emergency dispatchers, law enforcement personnel and related contractors, persons working for emergency services providers, and governmental employees performing work in the course and scope of their employment.
 
Essential employees are exempt from any travel or other restrictions relating to COVID-19 that are issued by any local governmental entity, to the extent those activities are required for the employee to complete their duties.
