It should go without saying that Miami Beach residents and visitors need to be wearing a mask when in public, and as high numbers of COVID-19 cases continue in South Florida — city officials are done issuing warnings.

Miami Beach Police and Code Officers are giving out $50 civil citations for anyone not wearing a facial covering while in a public place or space.

We urge everyone to also continue practicing social distancing and meticulously  wash your hands regularly.  The Countywide curfew for the remainder of the city, excluding the 8 p.m. curfew for the South Beach Entertainment District, remains in effect from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily.
