MIAMI, Fla. – A concert over the weekend in Wynwood was one event most health experts and city leaders said should have never happened, but the party flyers went out long before Saturday night. Judging by the videos posted on social media, people turned out by the hundreds for a late-night concert by Jamaican dance-hall artist Shenseea. Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said the videos were “incredibly concerning.”Videos show the crowd shoulder to shoulder— absent of any obvious social distancing enforcement. “We have a current enforcement process and I’ll be reviewing what the current enforcement process is,” she said. Cava also wanted to remind Miami-Dade County residents to wear face masks, seek tests and isolate, when circumstances warrant.

They were there to see Jamaican dance-hall artist Shenseea performing, but without any obvious enforcement of COVID-19 social distancing rules. It is one example of why experts believe that South Florida, among other places around the country, are speeding toward an unsettling peak in coronavirus cases.
