It will also urge residents to continue to maintain a 6 feet distance from others.
The alert comes after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a statewide stay-at-home order Wednesday.
A similar order was already in effect for Miami-Dade.
Residents should only go out to perform essential activities like getting groceries, gas or medicine.
