Florida Temporary ban on check ins

The Florida governor declared a temporary ban on short term rentals, initially through April 11th and then extended it to the end of the month. 

I have 3 homes in Davenport FL that are short term rentals, one of them is rented to someone that we believed to be an essential worker, but apparently they are not. My HOA sent me an e-mail saying that one of the neighbors noticed the house had a guest and was thinking about calling the sheriff.

The guest checks out in a few days and I'm trying to avoid asking them to leave early and risking a 1 star review on Airbnb which will hurt our Superhost status.

My question is, has anyone been in this situation before? If the neighbors do call the sheriff, is it common to get away with a warning first? 

I'm just not sure how serious of an offense this is, is it a fine, warning or do I lose my hotel license right away?
