Florida health officials recorded another record-breaking day, as cases of coronavirus spiked to its highest numbers yet in both Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Beach Mayor Dan Gelber chastised residents for "not listening" and refusing to adhere to social distancing protocols and mask mandates that have been in effect for weeks.
In Broward County, there were 1,346 new cases recorded, the Florida Department of Health said, bringing the county's total to 19,575. The rapid rise of new cases broke new records for the Sunshine State Thursday, as officials noted higher numbers of confirmed cases six times greater than the daily record last month.
Gelber said the measures were necessary and fought back against assertions that the limitations were an infringement on basic rights.
