Miami Beach mayor defends decision not to reopen the tourist hot spot's beaches until at least June: 'We are not a city built for social distance, so we have to be extra careful given the millions, millions of people that would flock to our beaches.'
"Listen, everybody in the world knows how beautiful our beaches are, but unfortunately the eight miles of our beaches cannot be opened -- they'll just attract too many people," he told MSNBC's Alicia Menendez on Saturday."We are not a city built for social distance, so we have to be extra careful given the millions, millions of people that would flock to our beaches."
Gelber says he wants to see widespread use of COVID-19 countermeasures, like contact testing, before he decides to restart the city's tourism industry. And the Democrat says he wants the federal government to do more. Jonathan Coelho, 32, wrote the note the day before doctors at a hospital in Danbury intubated him and weeks before his April 22 death from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.
