ON THIS DAY

Miami-Dade’s highly anticipated reopening begins Monday as approved by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, however some cities are saying no. Miami, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, and Miami beach are waiting a couple extra days. Nonessential retail will open Wednesday and restaurants an extra week later. This extended time is meant to allow operators ample time to make necessary adjustments to their businesses.
