They have closed almost all of Ft Lauderdale beach (about a 5-6 mile long stretch--the main part).

  Did they actually close the beach or just close all of the parties and other student activities?

  A friend of mine took his family to Cocoa Beach today.  It's usually almost empty but he said that it was fairly crowded today.   

    Floridians are rediscovering those natural sources of entertainment that existed here before the big commercial Theme Parks' propaganda convinced everyone that you had to spent $500 per day to have a good time.

SiliconWizard:
Yeah, since big malls and amusement parks are closing, people are trying the outdoors, which is not a bad thing in itself. They'll have to try wild nature though, because typical crowded outdoors such as beaches will be temporarily banned too.

Even wild nature may be a problem soon. Does anyone know if the virus can be transmitted to any other species?

Physically closed the beach.  Put up cones and have officers (some on horseback) patrolling and kicking people off the beaches.  I saw some pictures earlier but cant find them now.


--- Quote ---“We cannot become a petri dish for a very dangerous virus,” Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said Sunday during a joint news conference at Miami Beach City Hall. “Spring break is over. The party is over.”

Fort Lauderdale beach — the sandy section — will be closed from Harbor Drive north to Oakland Park Boulevard. Miami Beach will close the beach from Fifth Street to 15th Street —the uber trendy section known as South Beach. Even its public parking garages will close and an 11 p.m. curfew will be strictly enforced.

Fort Lauderdale’s rules are in effect now through April 12.

Violators can risk a $500 fine or 60 days in jail.

“We clearly want to encourage voluntary compliance, but we could arrest or issue notices to appear if necessary," Fort Lauderdale City Manager Chris Lagerbloom said.
