CBS Miami May 5, 2021 Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has issued a statement in response to Gov. Ron DeSantis' executive order suspending all local COVID-related restrictions. "We are still in a public health emergency and our economy has not fully rebounded from crisis. Miami-Dade County will continue to require key COVID safety precautions including masking, distancing, and disinfecting at all County spaces, including libraries, County parks, and County buildings," the mayor's statement read, in part. "A federal mask mandate remains in place for public transit, Miami International Airport, and PortMiami." The governor's order "eliminates and supersedes any existing emergency order or ordinance issued by a county or municipality that imposes restrictions or mandates upon businesses or individuals due to the COVID-19 emergency."
