Miami Beach is extending its weekend curfew through April 12, in an attempt to control disorderly crowds of Spring Breakers. Florida is seeing a surge in visitors due to its relaxed coronavirus restrictionsl On Saturday, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber declared a state of emergency and set an 8 p.m. curfew, saying the crowds were out of control. The curfew was set to expire after 72 hours, but during an emergency meeting on Sunday afternoon, the Miami Beach City Commission unanimously voted to enforce the curfew Thursday through Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., every weekend through April 12.
On Saturday night, hundreds of people remained on the streets after curfew, and police used pepper balls in an attempt to disperse the crowds. Over the last two weeks, more than 1,000 people have been arrested — 90 percent from out of town — and several restaurants have reported property damages and diners leaving without paying their checks.
Mayor Dan Gelber said “the curfew is not discriminatory, and the city is not targeting a group of people, but targeting conduct. We don’t like these arrests because it endangers officers and arrestees who may be drunk or high and bystanders. The only option we have right now is to make sure we can control our streets. No community should have to endure the videos you are seeing right now.”
The first case of a COVID-19 variant known as the Brazilian variant was confirmed in New York, with NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo announcing that scientists at Mount Sinai Hospital identified the case, which was then verified by the state Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center Laboratories. The patient is a Brooklyn resident in their 90s who hasn’t traveled recently, officials said in a news release. Health officials are doing further investigation of the patient and any potential contacts.
The Brazilian variant was first detected in the U.S. in January, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported nearly 50 confirmed cases nationwide. The variant has been considered potentially more severe than earlier variants and possibly more resistant to current vaccines, though some recent research has indicated it may not be as resistant to the vaccines as initially thought.
Cuomo said Sunday that 25.7% of New Yorkers have received at least one vaccine dose since the state’s vaccination effort began, and 13.2% have been fully vaccinated. He announced a slight change in the state’s vaccination rules on Sunday, stating that pharmacies, which previously were allowed to provide shots only to people over 60 and teachers, can now vaccinate people under 60 who qualify for the inoculations because of certain health conditions.
