The complete list of ‘essential businesses’ in each South Florida county

On Wednesday, with DeSantis’ statewide stay-at-home order, a federal guideline of suggested essential workers was also included. Those federal guidelines, released by the Department of Homeland Security, include many more categories of workers and also cover government workers such as law enforcement and elections officials. It includes far more categories of workers than the Miami-Dade order, but some of them are quite narrow in scope, such as workers supporting the operation and maintenance of high-risk chemical facilities who cannot work remotely and whose facilities cannot be safely shut down.
