Florida’s Miami-Dade to Require Masks in All Public Spaces

Miami-Dade County, Florida’s most populous, will start requiring masks in all public spaces, with Mayor Carlos Gimenez making the move after speaking with hospital leaders about the region’s increase in Covid-19 cases.

Gimenez said he will sign an emergency order later Wednesday, according to a statement. Masks were previously required in indoor public spaces and outdoors when effective social distancing was not possible.
