Statement from Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez regarding curfew, beach/pool openings

Following the unrest associated with protests in our community, I have decided to postpone the reopening of beaches in Miami-Dade County, originally scheduled for Monday, June 1st. The beaches will remain closed until the curfew order is lifted. Apartment pools, condominium pools, and other private community pools managed by homeowners associations may still open as planned. In addition, the pools at the following Miami-Dade Parks will reopen: Goulds Park, A.D. Barnes Park and Oak Grove Park. Hotels will also be able to expand accommodations.

In addition, I will be updating the emergency order to extend the hours of the curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., effective Sunday, May 31st, until the order is lifted. Cities can have stricter rules. For instance, the City of Miami curfew begins at 8 p.m.
