Officials in Miami on Friday announced an 8 p.m. curfew along South Beach, as Florida topped 10,000 new daily cases for the tenth time. Authorities hope the curfew will cut down on partying, one of the behaviors suspected of fueling the coronavirus' rapid spread. "We're not taking a full lockdown off the table," said infectious disease specialist Dr. Aileen Marty, who warned Miami-Dade County is nearing a tipping point.
On Friday, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp defended his lawsuit against the city of Atlanta's mask mandate. There's also debate about when to reopen schools. In Utah, a meeting over reopening schools had to be called off, after people packed the room and most ignored safety guidelines. In California, public schools will be required to meet strict guidelines set Friday by Governor Gavin Newsom before they can reopen with students on campus.
