Miami Beach City Manager Extends State of Emergency Declaration
–In Response to COVID-19–
Miami Beach, FL – The Mayor and Commission unanimously extended the City
Manager’s Declaration of the State of Emergency to limit the spread of the COVID-19
virus. In addition to the measures established yesterday, the revised declaration
mandates that all restaurants and nightclubs — who have occupancy loads greater than
250 people — cease operations immediately. However, if the establishment reduces and
maintains its capacity to less than 250 people, they will be allowed to continue operating.
Miami Beach Fire and Code Compliance officers are actively monitoring and enforcing
this declaration. Any violation of these emergency measures is subject to arrest and
criminal prosecution. The order is in effect through Friday, March 20 and may be
extended by Commission action at the March 18 Commission Meeting.
