Amenities exclusively used by residents of “individual dwelling units, including single-family residential lots, townhouses, duplexes and villas, are not affected by the order.
“I urge everyone to continue always maintaining social distance of 6 feet or more and avoid going out for any non-essential reason. Following the county’s ‘Safer at Home’ regulations will reduce the transmission of this virus,” Gimenez said in a statement. “We must all be vigilant about taking personal responsibility to help stop the spread of COVID-19. We must each act as if we are infected and take every precautionary step to prevent transmitting this virus to others.”
Gimenez is scheduled to hold a virtual news conference Tuesday afternoon after visiting a temporary field hospital at the Miami-Dade County fairgrounds at Tamiami Park.
The hospital has been set up to help deal with any potential overflow from nearby hospitals dealing with coronavirus cases.
