TROPICS. I’LL BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES TO TALK ABOUT OUR FORECAST IN
A FEW.
>> COMPARED TO MOST HOLIDAY WEEKENDS, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY QUIET LABOR DAY HERE IN MIAMI
BEACH
BEACH.
BEACH BEACH. POLICE SAY THEY’VE INCREASED
THEIR PRESENCE AND THEY EXPECT
PEOPLE TO FOLLOW GUIDELINES.
THEY DECIDED TO FLY LAST
MINUTE HERE FROM L.A.
THEY’RE ENJOYING THE GETAWAY,
IF NOT THE 10:00 P.M. CURFEW.
THE COUNTY WIDE CURFEW CAUGHT
OTHERS OFF GUARD AS WELL.
>> I WOULDN’T HAVE CAME IF I
KNEW THEY WERE SHUTTING
EVERYTHING DOWN AT 10:00.
>> MIAMI BEACH POLICE STEPPED
UP THEIR PRESENCE AND SAID
OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS,
THEY’VE ISSUED 800 CITATIONS
TO PEOPLE NOT WEARING MASKS.
>> I’M REALLY HOPING THAT
PEOPLE WILL KEEP ALL THAT IN
MIND SO THAT WE DON’T SEE A
HUGE SURGE TWO WEEKS FROM
LABOR DAY.
>> WAS EVERYBODY WEARING THEIR
MASKS?
>> NO.
>> TO CLARIFY, SHE DID SAY
THAT MOST PEOPLE WERE JUST
TAKING THEIR MASKS OFF.
LIVE IN MIAMI BEACH, AMY
VITERI, LOCAL 10 NEWS.
>> AMY, THANK YOU.
FROM MIAMI BEACH, WE HEAD TO
FORT LAUDERDALE.
>> Alex: THAT’S WHERE WE FIND
LOCAL 10 NEWS REPORTER IAN
MARGOL.
HI, IAN.
>> Reporter: HEY, GUYS.
IN THE LAST COUPLE HOURS OR
SO, WE FINALLY STARTED TO SEE
MORE PEOPLE START SHOWING UP.
BUT EVEN STILL, IT IS NOT NEAR
LY THE SAME AS WHAT YOU’D
NORMALLY SEE ON A HOLIDAY HERE
IN FORT LAUDERDALE BEACH.
WHAT WE HEARD SO FAR FROM
AUTHORITIES, PEOPLE SEEM TO BE
FOLLOWING THE RULES.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN BROWARD
COUNTY LOOKS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR THAN IT
NORMALLY WOULD.
COVID CERTAINLY DESERVES SOME
OF THE BLAME FOR THAT.
SO FAR, FORT LAUDERDALE POLICE
POLICE -- THOSE WHO HAVE COME
OUT ARE PRETTY MUCH FOLLOWING
THE RULES.
>> WE’RE HAPPY TO REPORT
EVERYONE IS ENJOYING THE LONG
LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
>> WHILE MASKS AREN’T REQUIRED
OUTSIDE IF PEOPLE ARE FAR
ENOUGH APART, SOCIAL
DISTANCING GUIDELINES ARE
STILL BEING ENFORCED.
>> OFFICERS ARE OUT IN FORCE,
ON MOTORCYCLES AND BIKES, ON
CARS AND EVEN HORSE BACK.
BUT THEY AREN’T ALONE.
DOZENS OF CODE COMPLIANCE
OFFICERS ARE ALSO ROAMING THE
STREETS IN BROWARD, LOOKING TO
MAKE SURE BUSINESSES ARE
COMPLYING.
ONCE AGAIN, WE’RE HEARING SO
FAR THAT EVERYONE HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THE RULES.
>> FRIDAY AND SATURDAY HAVE
BEEN ACTUALLY VERY CALM.
WE, FOR THE MOST PART, WE’VE
SEEN THAT THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COME TO VISIT US HERE IN FORT
LAUDERDALE HAVE ADAPTED
THEMSELVES TO THE REGULATIONS
THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, WHICH
IS PHENOMENAL.
>> WE LEARNED THAT THERE WAS
NOT A SINGLE CITATION GIVEN
OUT FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.
ON SUNDAY, THEY GAVE OUT ONE
$500 CITATION BECAUSE PEOPLE
HAD A BIG PARTY AT A HOUSE.
IT IS A REMINDER THAT HERE IN
BROWARD COUNTY YOU CAN ONLY
HAVE TEN PEOPLE THERE AT A
TIME.
OBVIOUSLY, THEY’RE ENFORCING
THAT ORDER.
FOR THE MOST PART, PEOPLE
SEEMING TO FOLLOW THE RULES
HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY FOR THE
