SUNRISE, Florida – As Broward County issued a Safer At Home Order that urges people to stay home, the city of Sunrise has followed suit, issuing a stricter order that MANDATES, City of Sunrise residents stay home except for specified purposes effective 12:01 a.m. Saturday, March 28, 2020.
Details in the city’s declaration are below:
Section 1. Each resident is hereby ordered to stay home and within the entirety of their owned or rented property. The order to stay at home does not require residents to confine themselves to the interior of their homes.

Residents may also leave their place of residence and travel to another place in accordance with Section 3, below.
Section 2. Unless a person has a Permissible Use as provided for in Section 3, below, no person shall travel or be on or upon any public right of way, including but not limited to, streets, canals, or sidewalks, within the boundaries of the City of Sunrise.
Section 3. Permissible Use. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, all residents and visitors in the City may lawfully engage in the following activities:
