The city of Miami issued a shelter in place order late Tuesday that went into effect just before midnight, marking the second city in Florida to make the drastic move.
The city ordered all residents to stay at home to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. The order allows residents in Miami – which includes Coconut Grove, downtown Miami, Wynwood, Edgewater, Little Havana and other popular neighborhoods – to travel to essential retail, to essential places of work and to perform or deliver essential services to homes, such as repairs and landscaping.
It bans Miami’s hundreds of thousands of residents from all non-essential travel within the city, including by car, public transit and motorcycle. It does allow residents to be outdoors, but not in closed public spaces, such as parks.
The emergency order is similar to one put in place by the city of Miami Beach on Monday.
Restaurants in the city of Miami can continue to operate takeout and delivery services only.
On Sunday, the village of Key Biscayne issued an emergency order effective Monday limiting and restricting non-essential and non-residential travel into Key Biscayne.
In Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, all non-essential retail was ordered to close last week. Hotels, motels and short-term rentals, unless housing essential guests such as national guard members and healthcare professionals, were also shut down in Miami-Dade County and Miami Beach, dealing a blow to the hospitality industry.
