Spring Breakers in Miami Beach has gotten so out of control with huge crowds of partygoers packing the streets after curfew that area lawmakers are putting their foot down, ordering a state of emergency.
According to TMZ, Mayor Dan Gelber is trying to put the brakes on the rowdy celebrations out of fear it could become a breeding ground for COVID-19.
The city of Miami Beach declared a state of emergency on Saturday over the size of the spring break crowds that have descended on the popular South Florida destination.
Mayor Gelber announced an 8 p.m. curfew for the South Beach entertainment district and told the media that the shore-bound traffic on the city’s causeways would be shuttered as well.
Both measures will be in effect for at least 72 hours, Mayor Gelber said, while extending the emergency will continue to be debated by officials.
