NOW AT 7:00, SOAKING IN THE
LAST DAYS OF OFFICIAL SUMMARY.
THERE WAS SOCIAL DISTANCING ON
BEACHES, AND MASKS BEING WORN,
AND PEOPLE BEING CONCERNED ABOUT
SERIOUSLY.
THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH REPORTED MORE THAN 1800
AND CASES STATEWIDE SENSATION
A. THERE WERE ALSO AN
ADDITIONAL 22 DEATHS.
IN MIAMI-DADE, THERE WERE 272
NEW CASES.
IN BROWARD, 133 NEW CASES, AND
FIVE NEW DEATHS.
THE COUNTIES REPORTING THREE
ADDITIONAL DEATHS.
WE HAVE SEEN, AS YOU
MENTIONED, SPIKES AFTER A LONG
WEEKEND, AFTER SPRING BREAK,
AND SO, THAT IS CERTAINLY A
CONCERN.
FOR THE MOST PART, IT
APPEARS BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS,
AND VISITORS ARE FOLLOWING
COUNTY RULES.
CBS4'S JESSICA VALLEJO HAS
MORE .
Reporter: WE ARE OUT HERE IN
SOUTH BEACH, AND I WANT YOU TO
TAKE A LOOK, FOR THE MOST PART,
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
A WE HAVE SEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT
PATROLLING THE AREA ALL WEEKEND.
IT WILL BE IN TWO WEEKS THAT
WILL ACTUALLY DETERMINE IF
PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID BEHAVE.
THOUSANDS WHO HEADED OUT TO OUR
SOUTH FLORIDA BEACHES. PLANTED
PEOPLE OUT HERE IN SOUTH BEACH.
YOU WERE ABLE TO GO OUT TO
AND TALK TO EVERYBODY.
NOT EVERYBODY IS EXPECTING THE
SPACE, AND I CAN RESPECT THAT.
LABOR DAY, THE ACTUALLY
OPENED THE BEACHES.
Reporter: HOWEVER, AS THE
SUN GOES ON, THIS WEEKEND WAS
CRUCIAL BECAUSE COVERT
POSITIVITY RATE WAS TRENDING
DOWN IN DADE AND BROWARD COUNTY.
SOUTH FLORIDA CASES JUMPED
FOLLOWING MEMORIAL DAY AND THE
JULY 4th HOLIDAYS.
IF THEY HAVEN'T BEHAVED THIS
WEEKEND, THEN ABOUT TWO WEEKS
FROM NOW, WE WILL STILL START
TO SEE A SURGE IN CASES, WHERE
WE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO
WALK BACK SOME OF THE REOPENING
WE HAVE DONE, AND NOT ALLOW
FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES TO BEGIN.
Reporter: MOST IMPORTANTLY,
DR. MARTY, SAYS MOST IN TOWN,
WITH FLU SEASON APPROACHING.
COVID-19 IS SOMETHING WE DO
EMPHASIZE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT OFF
INFECTIONS. THE COMBINATION IS
VERY BAD.
Reporter: WHAT DID GO ON
THIS WEEKEND?
LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD A HEAVY
PRESENCE THROUGHOUT.
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
KNOW WHEN RESTRICTIONS ARE IN
LACE.
THEY ARE SIMPLY REMINDING
EVERYONE THAT THERE IS THINGS
ARE IN PLACE, AND SIMPLY BE
MINDFUL.
Reporter: SO WE ARE REALLY
PUSHING THAT MANDATORY SOCIAL
DISTANCING REQUIREMENT AND WITH
THE UPCOMING HOLIDAYS MEDICAL
EXPERTS AND OFFICIALS ARE
HOPING WE STAY VIGILANT.
AS WE ALL COOPERATE, WE CAN
ACTUALLY GET THIS VIRUS OUT OF
OUR COMMUNITY.
Reporter: AGAIN, WE ARE OUT
HERE ON SOUTH RIDGE, AND AT
