Public Dashboard Tracks Local COVID-19 Business Complaints

Residents can see if businesses are following emergency guidelines
As the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb in Florida, Broward County has launched a tool to help residents ensure they are doing everything they can to contribute to a safer, healthier community and stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Broward County’s Planning and Development Management Division has launched a public-facing dashboard of COVID-19 complaints about businesses not following sanitation, social distancing, facial covering and other reopening requirements contained in local Emergency Orders. The GIS-based website displays details about business complaints received. Residents are encouraged to bookmark the dashboard and visit it frequently for updates in your area.

Residents are reminded to follow social distancing and facial covering guidelines whenever and wherever possible, even at family gatherings. If you observe that a business is not following the preventive guidelines, you can report it anonymously online at MyBroward.Broward.org, or call 311.
