TODAY’S PURPOSE

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR REOPENING
1.We cannot open before the County. We must wait for them
to act.
2.We can be stricter than the County, but not more lenient.
3.There is great risk if we are the first to act. Part of what
happened with South Pointe Park is that the other major
cities in the County (e.g. Miami, Hialeah, Miami Gardens,
North Miami) did not open their parks. SPP drew large crowds
from the mainland.
4.We have unique venues that are very challenging for social
distancing (e.g. Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, the beach,
Espanola Way). One size approach does not fit Miami
Beach.3
The reopening strategy that is recommended by most medical
and public health professionals consists of three critical pieces:
1.The healthcare system can safely care for all patients, including providing
appropriate personal protective equipment for healthcare workers. Capacity must
exist to deal with future cases.
2.Evidence that the virus has reached manageable levels. Based on discussions with
our Health Advisory Team, two important indicators are highlighted:
•Downward trajectory of positive tests as a % of total tests within a 14-day
period
•Downward trajectory of numbers of new COVID19 admissions to Miami -Dade
hospitals
(combined data)/day
3.A robust and properly staffed surveillance testing and contact tracing system for all
new COVID-19 cases and their close contacts, with quarantining.
Gating Criteria is applicable to enter both phase 1 and to then enter phase 2
GATING CRITERIA
4
We find that enforcing strict social distancing followed by a policy based on
a robust level of testing, contact -tracing and household quarantining, could
keep the disease at a level that does not exceed the capacity of the health
care system. Assuming the identification of 50% of the symptomatic
infections, and the tracing of 40% of their contacts and households, which
corresponds to about 9% of individuals quarantined, the ensuing reduction in
transmission allows the reopening of economic activities while attaining a
manageable impact on the health care system. Our results show that a
response system based on enhanced testing and contact tracing can play a
major role in relaxing social distancing interventions in the absence of herd
immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
