How reopening will eventually roll out in Miami

| SFBW Staff
Effective  at 6 a.m. Wednesday, Miami-Dade County parks, marinas, golf courses and boat launches are allowed open with restrictions, but many other aspects of a Phase 1 reopening aren’t happening yet, such as reopening of beaches, an email from the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District indicates.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to address statewide reopening plans on Wednesday.
Park goers must wear face coverings unless under 2 years of age and must follow social distancing requirements of maintaining 6 feet or more of distance from non-family members. Dog parks, playgrounds, domino tables, skate parks, and bike racks remain closed.
A PDF posted online gives details about other aspects of an order issued on Tuesday, including rules about golf and boating.
The city of Miami will work with the Florida Department of Health to track and analyze the number of new Covid-19 cases, the number of Covid-19 hospitalizations, and the overall reduction of symptoms. If there is a downward trajectory in each of these indicators the city will begin lifting restrictions over a period of three phases. Each phase initiates after 14 days of improvement as determined by the Department of Health.
Phase 1:
  • Curfew lifted, shelter in place lifted, and City of Miami parks, beaches and marinas to re-open.
  • No business or establishment may operate if the total occupancy load exceeds 25 percent of the authorized total occupancy load.
  • No business may operate with any occupancy at or above 125 people.
  • Alcohol establishments that do not serve food will remain closed, restaurants will operate delivery and take-out only, and all gyms, fitness centers, movie theaters, and live performance venues shall remain closed.
Phase 2:
  • No business or establishment may operate if the total occupancy load exceeds 50 percent of the authorized total occupancy load.
  • No business may operate with an occupancy load at or above 250 people. Restaurants may operate with dining on premises.
  • Alcohol establishments, movie theaters, live performance venues, bowling alleys, gyms, and fitness centers may all re-open.
Phase 3:
  • Allowable occupancy load for all businesses and establishments may increase and government buildings will resume normal staffing.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
