Miami Beach interim City Manager Raul Aguila is recommending that the state of emergency put in place to control the crowd of spring breakers that descended on the city, be extended to the end of Spring Break.
“These crowds are in the thousands,” Aguila told the Miami Herald. “We’re at capacity.”
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber declared a state of emergency on Saturday and set an 8 p.m. curfew. The emergency orders will expire Tuesday evening unless extended by the Miami Beach City Commission, which is scheduled to hold an emergency 3 p.m. Sunday meeting.
Videos and photos show packed bars and restaurants and many people partying in the streets while not wearing masks or practicing social distancing –after the curfew was implemented.
