Some S. Florida reopenings roll back

With an increase in coronavirus cases across the state, particularly in South Florida, local governments are retracting some of the area’s reopenings such as restaurants and gyms.

Restaurants and bars: Starting Wednesday in Miami-Dade, restaurants must close all inside dining. Outside dining with tables limited to four patrons, takeout and delivery services will be allowed.

Bars were not allowed to open, but that brought a rush to bars in restaurants.

In Broward County, alcohol sales in restaurants and bars have to stop from midnight to 5 a.m. and restaurants have to stop serving food in that same time frame. Delivery, drive-through and pickup are still available. Bars in the county are closed.

Monroe County restaurants and bars can operate at 50% seating occupancy.

Beaches and pools: Miami-Dade and Monroe beaches reopened Tuesday after being closed for the Fourth of July weekend. Both have social distancing and mask requirements. “If we see crowding and people not following the public health rules, I will be forced to close the beaches again,” Gimenez wrote.

Broward County beaches reopened Monday.

Hotel and condominium pools in all three counties can stay open with strict social distancing and mask rules.

Hotels: Hotels and motels in all three counties are open. Pools and shared spaces are under social distance and capacity requirements.

However, short-term rentals such as Airbnbs, in Miami-Dade County will close starting Wednesday.

Gyms: Miami-Dade County gyms were supposed to be closed Wednesday under an executive order, but Gimenez reversed course on Tuesday morning. Gyms and fitness centers will stay open. Gym-goers must wear a mask or do strenuous training outside with 10 feet of distance.

Broward and Monroe gyms remain open with social distancing and other safety regulations.

Entertainment venues: Miami-Dade closed strip clubs, movie theaters, arcades and casinos except the Miccosukee on July 2.

Casinos, arcades, bowling alleys and movie theaters in Broward are open with distance and safety regulations.

Movie theaters, concert halls, auditoriums, playhouses, bowling alleys and arcades in Monroe remain open at 50% capacity.
