while the beaches here in clearwater are open, in miami-dade county they're closed this weekend. as you heard from polo, there's a strict curfew, there is a widespread mask mandate in that county as well. i have friends in miami-dade county, many of them telling me they're going to drive up north to daytona, west to marco island and other places to enjoy the beach this weekend. so while some folks are staying home and heeding the warnings from officials, others are very eager to get out, to get to the beach and not follow these social distancing guidelines. christi, martin. >> boris sanchez, appreciate it so much, thank you. >>> the president is preparing to celebrate independence day in washington today after rallying at mt. rushmore last night. thousands packed in to hear the president speak with very few people wearing face coverings. this after the governor of south dakota made it pretty crystal clear that people would not be social distancing and masks would not be required. >> i want to go to cnn's sarah westwood who's at the white house right now. sarah, what are you learn

here, in clearwater, they are slowly getting packed. at 10:00 a.m. you see families outside though the rules that are in place for the beaches are clearly outlined as soon as you get to the beach. they are asking folks who don't live together to stay six feet apart and not congregate in groups and no groups larger than ten people. i've seen people out here wearing masks as well, an important reminder of just how widespread the devastation from coronavirus is, too. you'll remember that a few weeks ago governor ron desantis was talking about how florida had not had any minors perish because of the coronavirus. that has changed recently. in pasco county, a 17-year-old, a 16-year-old in lee county and last night we got word that an 11-year-old boy in miami-dade county passing away because of coronavirus. again, there are cries from health experts for people to heed the warnings. it's going to be difficult to enforce these rules and we'll see how they respond to them how the here on clearwater beach, jim. going to be a big test there. boris sanchez, thank

here clearwater beach is open. on the southeast part of the state miami-dade, broward, palm beach, all those beaches are closed this holiday weekend. >> boris sanchez, thanks so much. >>> on to arizona now. the number of new reported coronavirus cases also continues to climb. hospitals are also getting dangerously close to capacity as the number of people requiring treatment soars. cnn's evan mcmorris-santoro joins me from scottsdale, arizona. perhaps we've given you enough time for the town to open, people are milling about. and what are they telling you? >> let's start with the situation here because here in arizona, it really is very dire when it comes to this pandemic that has been surging in this state for days now. we just have some new numbers that came in just recently. 2,700 new cases reported yesterday. just about that number here in arizona. and that icu bed number has been hovering around 90% full capacity for the past several days. that came again in today. that means only 171 icu beds left in arizona

hospital, morton plant hospital in clearwater, and advent health north had no icu beds available saturday. thetampa bay times reported data collected by the agency for health care administration. to your calls. we will go first to cedric in boston. good morning. caller: good morning. i wanted to make a comment about president trump. he used his whole fourth of july weekend talking about statues, and people are dying from this disease. job.ur this guy cannot even do a job. all these sick people worrying about going back to work, told not to wear a mask. we are going to fire his behind. in texas. is good morning. caller: how are you? host: fine, thanks. caller: my comment pertains to all the violence we are having across the country. apparently, people have forgotten the history of this country. i'm old enough to remember what we were taught when we went to , and wes youngsters read history books that they are not reading today. the civil war was not fought over slavery at all. passed the slavery law completely separate from the revolution -- issuedresident lincoln the emancipation proclama

boris sanchez on clearwater beach in florida joining me now. what do the numbers mean for this weekend? >> reporter: that's the big question for local health officials and for the governor ron desantis of florida. we should point out as you noted 9,500 new cases, almost 9,500 new cases in the state of florida, third biggest day they have had in new coronavirus cases. just yesterday they surpassed 10,000. no other state aside from new york at the peak of coronavirus cases in april had hit a number that size. and there's going to be very unbalanced reactions to what's going on. the governor effectively leaving it to local officials to enact restrictions in the municipalities and means that places like miami-dade county and the southeastern part of the state, their beaches are closed this holiday weekend and enacted very strict curfews, a face mask mandate. here on the gulf side in clearwater beach, the beaches are open and families pouring in since early this morning. folks playing volleyball, enjoying drinks on the water like any other weekend t

but here on the western part of the state outside of tampa and clearwater beach, people were coming all to enjoy the sand, and surf. there are signs out to warn people to stay socially distant and six feet apart from people who do not share the same households. they're also asking groups not to congregate. groups of ten or more are not allowed here, though throughout the day we did see groups much larger than ten people enjoying the beach. actually, we spoke to one woman named taffy who told me that she moved from alabama to florida in the middle of the pandemic. she says that she's concerned about the risk of coronavirus, but that she wanted to enjoy the holiday weekend on the beach. here is more of what she shared with us. >> i just think that we should all wear masks and protect ourselves as best as we can in keeping the social distancing going on. and, you know, that said, we're going to get it, we're going get it. i'm happy to be here. i really am. i know the numbers are going up. and i hope it drops, but it doesn't seem like it is. why stop enjoying life? >> reporter: of course, t

here in clearwater, they are open. and folks i've been speaking to tell me they're comfortable coming out to the beach to celebrate independence day. i'll let you get a look behind me. folks have been coming in since this weekend. friends coming in playing different sports, kids playing in the sand. notably, i did hear from a local yesterday who told us the beach is typically far more packed this weekend. he believed that it's because we're seeing fewer visitors at clearwater beach today. i did speak with one woman who is actually from brazil. she came to the united states about eight months ago. she'd been planning to go back to brazil but unfortunately because of travel restrictions, she's effectively stuck here. she's taking precautions but she didn't want to spend her first day -- her first independence day on the water. listen to this. >> i'm very afraid for coronavirus so i'm here far from other people. i think that people don't care about coronavirus because they don't use mask. just go outside and go to the clu

while some beaches were closed, others were open, like the beach in clearwater where we spoke to somef the locals who decided to visit the beach, enjoy the sand and the day. there were signs asking them to be socially distant, avoid congregating in large groups. despite, we saw a lot of people ignoring the rules. actually spoke to a woman named kathy who moved from alabama to florida in the middle of this pandemic. she said she was taking precautions but she felt she had to live her life and enjoy independence day on the water. listen to more of what she shared with me. >> if i'm going to get it, i'm going to get t i'm happy to be here. i know the numbers are going up. hopefully it drops. it doesn't seem like it is. why stop enjoying life? >> so, again, governor ron desantis effectively letting things go as they have been. he is not putting in place a widespread mask mandate, the kind installed in texas a few days ago. the beach is closed today on the southeastern part of the state. they will be open again in clearwater and other areas, specifically on the western part of the state. n

boris sanchez, cnn, clearwater beach, florida. >>> joining me now is dr.arlos del rio, professor of medicine at emory university, which is right here in atlanta. doctor, good to see you. thank you for joining us. so, we've been seeing a spike in cases across the united states. can it all be accounted for just by increased testing, as some have suggested? >> ah, no, robyn. i think that increased cases is because there's increased transmission. diagnosis, testing, is simply telling us there's cases out there, but in fact, in some of the cases that have the highest increase in testing, in cases, we actually have seen a decrease in testing, which is the case in florida. so, unfortunately, not, this is not just testing. this is really a lot of transmission and a lot of uncontrolled transmission of this virus and that's what worries all of us, because we're siege more cases and we're seeing an increase in hospitalizations. here in georgia alone, we saw over 1,600 hospitalizations today. th three weeks ago, june 7th, we only had 700 patients hospitalized. so, a d

cnn's boris sanchez is at clearwater beach, florida. boris, what are you hearing from people there when you talk to them about coming out today? >> reporter: well, ana, most of them have told me that they've taken precautions, that they are trying to socially distance, that they've brought hand sanitizer. not many people wearing masks. m pinilis county there is a mask mandate. that is for public buildings. there are rules set up here. there is a sign asking people to maintain six feet of social distance from anyone that doesn't live in their household. they're asking folks not to congregate in large groups and keep groups smaller than ten people. of course i've seen groups much larger than ten people. enforcement is an open question. there are some folks who simply are not worried about coronavirus. we heard from a young man named connor who told us earlier who said he believed he got coronavirus, he got over it and nothing was going to stop him from enjoying the fourth of july out here on the water. listen to more of what he shared wit

cnn's boris sanchez is in clearwater beach. the beach is open and folks are there, families are there. what are they saying about how they are taking precaution? >> reporter: some folks are very clearly taking precautions, others are violating some of the rules that are laid out on signs across the beach behind me. there's actually a sign just off to our right that says very clearly that they don't want groups of ten or more people coming here. just now a restaurant that's off to the right called to seat more than 12 people. so obviously it's not exactly being enforced. they're asking folks who don't live in the same household to stay at least six feet apart, to not congregate in large groups. there was a bit of a rainstorm that passed by. we saw folks go home and now we're seeing an influx of more families coming to the beach to get in the sand and have a good time this holiday weekend despite the fact that the state of florida, as you noted, with more than 11,400 new coronavirus cases in the last 24 hours. 30,000 plus for the

first, let's go to boris sanchez, in clearwater, florida. the cases continue to soar ahead of the july 4th weekend. how is florida which has resisted a lot of the statewide mandates, how are they resisting there? >> jim, it really depends on where you are. governor desantis said he isn't going to enforce a statewide stay at home order, the kind we saw a few months ago and he's not pursuing the kind of broad almost statewide mask mandate we are seeing in texas from governor greg abbott there. it is up to local municipalities. in miami-dade county the beaches are closed. here on the gulf side of florida in clearwater beach, it is wide open. we are seeing families gather and enjoying a nice day out on the beach. many of them social distancing. i have seen a couple of people wearing masks. it is present here, the advice from officials here. you can see a sign off to my left, asking people to stay at least six feet apart. if you don't live together, do not congregate in groups. no groups of ten or more people. the enforcement of these rules uncle

cnn's boris sanchez joins from us clearwater beach, florida. boris, some south florida cities shut down their beaches for this holiday weekend. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: yeah, ana, clearwater beach did not shut down like miami-dade, broward, palm beach county. so here today we saw quite a few people gathering at the beach, people bring their families, playing sports. locals have told us that it was less packed in usual in part because visitors that come here for the fourth of july weekend are typically away from this area and people are hesitant to travel. there was some rain that came down a short time ago but i want to show you one of the issues that you face when you come to the beach. folks are gathering around showers to wash off sand. it's very difficult to be more than 6 feet amore when you're trying to get water in these showers. there's one about 20 yards away that is also packed with folks. there are rules here on signs warning people to stay 6 feet apart if they don't share a household, asking that groups not congregate

cities like clearwater have stayed open. i'm joined by the mayor of clearwater, frank hibbard. it's so good to see you. i want to ask you about some decisions you made. you left your beaches and restaurants open during the holiday, even though you said a majority of residents were against it. why did you ultimately make that decision? >> well, chris, since the beginning of this virus, we've been trying to protect lives and livelihoods. and as was said earlier, it's a balancing act. this is a rubix cube of decisions that we have to make on a daily basis. >> one of the things, though, that we know is that close proximity is not a good thing. not wearing masks. not a good thing when you are in close proximity. so did you do things to make sure people were following the rules, even at places like beaches, mayor? >> absolutely. we have police patrols going through our restaurants. fortunately, the bars and nightclubs which were really a problem several weeks ago are closed at this point. but we're going through restaurants, making certain that people are following distancing. they a

boris sanchez is on clearwater beach for us. i see people out and about today. what do the high numbers mean for people this holiday weekend? >> reporter: brooke, the expectation is simply to what we saw after memorial day week, people dislo baying the social distancing recommendation that is we'll see another surge even as we're amid the record setting streak in the state of florida. and the governor here ron desantis effectively allowed local officials to determine the precautions. miami-dade county closed beaches this weekend. there's a tight curfew in effect. there's a very serious mask mandate. here take a look. people piling into the beach since this morning. a sign says that folks should not gather in groups larger than ten people. they shouldn't congregate if they don't live with someone. stay six feet away from them. i have seen crowds bigger than ten people this morning altogether and it is not clear how strenuously these rules are being enforced and just off to the right here i want to point out frenchie's rockaway grill, people coming here all day an

then you get into other parts of the state, on the west coast of florida, in the clearwater area, wherehe beaches are wide open. some people are taking it more seriously than others take it. some who live here are wondering, do i have an understanding of what i need to do or do i still dismiss it? this is what one person had to tell us. >> it's a good idea because not everybody is going to be out here. it's going to spread it more because people don't know how to basically maintain social distancing or anything. as it is, it's already getting worse. everybody will be out in full force on the weekend if they do leave it open. so it's just going to make it worse. >> reporter: to underscore the serious nature of what's going on here, florida just saw its youngest victim from coronavirus, 11-year-old daequin trembley, very sad. it reminds everybody that the virus is indiscriminate by age, by wealth, by anything. it's a pandemic, as we've said over and over, and one that's, sadly, taking lives, andrea. >> kerry, a sad reminder indeed, thank you so much. >>> for many summer resort communities

. >> with its crystal clearwaters many are flocking to the river but the certify prine landscape nowwith images like this. dog waste and other trash left behind as crowds flood the river banks. cars pack into the parking hot over flowing onto highway 9. people walking along the busy roadway hiking down. >> it's crazy. i've never seen it with many people. >> for some who live nearby. >> the visitor surge is overwhelming. >> and the amount of garbage from non local residents is absolutely concerning to me. this is our home. this is our back yard. this is my back yard and i have to pick up every day after people and it's really sad. >> somebody put a small yue with hot smoking coals under the bridge unattended so i poured water in it and took care of it. >> now the citizen's league put up these signs for visitors on how to visit the river responsibly. >> we have concerns it's maybe being loved to death if you will. broken glass is really bad at a river. you're swimming and it's really bad for little feet and paws. >> executive director says the piling trash isn't just an eye sorry it's
