1:58Now PlayingBeaches in Miami-Dade County re-opened today after the temporary closure over the holiday weekend.
The Fourth of July holiday weekend began Saturday with some sobering numbers in the Sunshine State: Florida logged a record number of people testing positive for the coronavirus.
Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez closed beaches through the July 4 holiday weekend with hopes to slow the spread of the virus.
Municipalities elsewhere in South Florida, from Vero Beach to Broward County, did the same. Beaches in the Florida Keys also closed.
Public beaches along Pinellas County's 35 miles of sand remained open.
Florida's Democratic congressional delegation blasted Gov. Ron DeSantis' response to the coronavirus outbreak, saying Tuesday that his refusal to issue statewide orders requiring masks and closing beaches is killing Floridians and spreading the disease.
They also called on the Republican governor to close gyms and bar inside dining at restaurants again.
They said he has never met with a bipartisan congressional delegation to discuss the virus and his administration's order Monday requiring school districts to reopen classrooms this fall usurps local authority and endangers families.
