THE BEACHES AND 11 STATE PARKS
AND FACILITIES WILL REMAIN
CLOSED FOR NOW.
ON THE EVE OF LIMITED
REOPENING'S ACROSS THE COUNTY
WE WERE INSIDE KENDALL INDIAN
HAMMOCKS PARK. SIGNS HAVE BEEN
POSTED EXPLAINING WHAT YOU
SHOULD KNOW. PROHIBITED OUR
BIKE TRIPS CAMPING AND TABLE
TENNIS TO.
POOLS WILL BE CLOSED FOR VOTERS
AND A RAFTING.
SEVERAL PEOPLE TOLD US THAT
THEY CANNOT WAIT TO GET BACK TO
THE PARKS.
I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA.
PEOPLE WANT TO GET OUT.
THE MAJORITY ARE ALREADY AWARE
OF SAFE DISTANCING.
JOINING US IS THE FLORIDA
WILDLIFE COMMISSIONER WHO IS A
MEMBER OF THE REOPENING TASK
FORCE.
HERE ARE THE HEALTH FACTORS
THAT ARE CONSIDERED IN THE
RECOMMENDATIONS.
IT IS GREAT TO SEE YOU.
WE MET WITH THE MAYOR AND THEY
ASKED ME TO CHAIR THIS
COMMITTEE I MADE THE ARGUMENT
THAT YOU HAVE THE HAVES AND
HAVE-NOTS.
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE WATER
HAVE NO ACCESS BECAUSE ALL OF
THE MARINAS ARE CLOSED.
HE LISTENED TO THAT BUT HE
REFERRED TO THE MEDICAL EXPERTS
AT THE STATE LEVEL, AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI AND ASKED
FOR THEM TO LOOK AT WHAT WE
PRESENTED AND TO SIGN OFF.
THEY LOOKED AT EVERYTHING THAT
WE PROPOSED.
JUST AS HUMANS IN AMERICA WE
DON'T LIKE BEING LOCKED UP IN
OUR HOUSES. I THINK IT WILL BE
HEALTHY TO LET PEOPLE GO OUT
AND GET TO THE PARKS AND HAVE
SOME SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY BACK
IN THEIR LIVES.
COMING FROM SOMEBODY WHO WAS
WORKING FROM HIS HOME AND WANTS
TO GET OUT THERE. YESTERDAY ARE
YOU CONCERNED ABOUT A RISE IN
INFECTIONS AND DEATHS?
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE
SCIENCE AND THE MEDICAL EXPERTS
I THINK THAT ELDERLY PEOPLE ARE
MOST VULNERABLE TO WHAT IS
GOING ON. I THINK THAT THEY
HAVE A CONCERN.
CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT STOPPED IN
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY.
THERE'S ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES
THAT ARE STILL OPEN AND
FUNCTIONING.
I THINK AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT
IT AND TAKE A CAUTIOUS APPROACH
IF YOU ARE AN ELDERLY PERSON
YOU SHOULD HEED THE ADVICE OF
THE EXPERTS.
AT THIS POINT I THINK IT IS
ALSO HEALTHY TO GET OUT AND
ENJOY SOME OF THE THINGS. THEY
ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB OF
LEADING US IN THIS EFFORT AND
IT IS TIME TO SLOWLY START
OPENING THINGS.
IT'S NOT AN EASY ROAD ACRES
NOBODY HAS A ROADMAP.
IT IS TIME THAT WE MOVE FORWARD
AND OPEN SOME THINGS UP.
HOW WILL THESE BE ENFORCED
AND DO YOU THINK PEOPLE OBEY
THE RULES?
THE COUNTY HAS HIRED 500
EMPLOYEES THAT WILL BE OPEN.
WE AT THE STATE LEVEL WILL BE
BRINGING IN ADDITIONAL
HELICOPTERS AND RESOURCES TO
HELP NOT ONLY MIAMI-DADE MARINE
PATROL BUT MIAMI BEACH AND
BISCAYNE.
WE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER.
THE SECOND-DEGREE MISDEMEANOR
WHICH CARRIES A $500 TICKET TO
HAVE TO PAY.
WE WILL GO THROUGH THIS AS WE
TRY TO OPEN RESTAURANTS AND
NAIL AND HAIR SUPPLIES. THERE
WILL BE A NEW BEGINNING ON HOW
WE ROLL THIS OUT.
I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE
ENOUGH RESOURCES TO DEAL WITH
HIS.
FOR THE MOST PART, PEOPLE ARE
VERY AWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON
ALL. PEOPLE ARE VERY AWARE.
