Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez has scheduled a 3 p.m. Zoom meeting with reporters where he is expected to announce the reopening of indoor dining areas next week.

Carlos Frias from our news partner The Miami Herald tweeted about the decision.

On Monday, Mayor Gimenez hinted that an announcement was coming soon but said, “Curfew still stays at 10 o’clock. We don’t want people to have parties, etc. Those social gatherings, that’s where the problem is occurring.” Mayor Gimenez said.

Miami-Dade restaurants reopenings were rolled back in early July when COVID-19 cases surged after being allowed to reopen in May.

As of Tuesday, the county’s two-week average positivity rate was down to 10.71 percent, the lowest it’s been in weeks. In addition, the daily positivity rate on Tuesday was 9.35 percent, the seventh day in a row it’s been below 10 percent.

Broward County has a two-week average at 6.87%. Broward leaders have always allowed dine-in at a reduced capacity after the shutdown. Last week, restaurants were then allowed to stay open an extra hour, until 11 at night.
