for more, we welcome back the man we just saw, miami's republican mayor francis suarez. also happens to be a coronavirus survivor. mayor, just tonight i'm looking at the story out of jacksonville. i know it's not miami. 16 women walk into a bar as part of a big party. 16 women have tested positive for coronavirus. isn't that all the reminder you need about how aggressive this virus still is? >> it's extremely aggressive, and it is all the reminder that we need. what we use is three different forms of criteria that we analyze. one of them is the percent of positive cases, which is slightly increasing. the other one is total number of new cases, which is also increasing in the state. the third metric that we look at is hospitalizations, and thankfully that one is stable. and so, you know, we're going to continue to look at the data that we get every single day. we have epidemiologists that are analyzing it for us. we also have biostatisticians that are interpreting it, and we also of course consult with the department of health as we make decisions. as i said, we're not re

here with the latest from miami is mayor francis suarez.talked to a number of times during the pandemic. mr. mayor, good to go he sue sue see you again. i mentioned statewide figures. what are you seeing in the city of miami? >> we're seeing a bit of an uptick in last two weeks. we measured as the cdc recommended, president's opening two week increments. we saw slight increase in cases. we have more testing that could explain some increase in new testing. we're seeing a lot of increase in the 1to 18 to 34 demographicking. they can go home and infect members of family. we're seeing what they call percent of positives. percentage of people taking the test. a slight increase of .11. 1% over 10 day increase what we're looking at. the good news the hospitalization rate has remained stable. for now that is one we're monitoring most closely could affect the mortality rate which we're more concerned about. doesn't sound like you are too alarmed yet. are you close to place where you might slow down reopening or put more restrictions back in place, s

i'm joined by francis suarez, the mayor of miami. good to have you.nder if you agree with the analysis out of the university of pennsylvania that said it looks like florida has all the markings of the next large epicenter of coronavirus transmission. >> i wish it were under better circumstances. what's happening is the high watermark for florida during the time we implemented the stay-at-home orders was 1,300 new cases. we had 4,70 new ca0 cases. in miami-dade the high watermark was 533 case. the last report had us at over 900 new cases. we are obviously extremely concerned. i just got off a call with the department of health to get on this interview, and i'm going back to that call, to determine what other measures we can continue to take to make sure businesses are safe. >> i know you're working with the department of health today to distribute masks in some of the clusters you're seeing around miami. i wonder where your head is on potentially mandating mask wearing everywhere outside like it is inside now. >> that's certainly an option we cannot di

let's talk to the mayor of miami right now, francis suarez is joining us.or, thank you so much for joining us. and as we all just heard, you've ordered residents of miami to wear a mask in all public settings. why did you decide that now was the right time to issue this new mandate? >> thanks, wolf. i did that along with 14 other mayors that stood by my side at 2:00 p.m. at a press conference. we are all disturbed at the rising numbers in our county. if you remember the high water mark when we shut down the economy and implemented a stay-at-home order for miami-dade county was 433 cases. yesterday we had over 900 cases, whis twice the high point title that we closed down our economy. we're not going to be opening up movie theaters, night clubs. and we will not be opening up large sporting facilities. >> how do you enforce this new mask mandate, mayor? >> it's going to be obviously very tricky. just like when we had a stay-at-home order, it's very difficult to enforce every single person staying at home making sure that they don't violate. i think the first

el anuncio lo hizo el alcalde francis suÁrez.do la cifra de contagios aproximadamente a 80.000. se conoce que las Últimas horas varios jugadores de los calvo es de dallas, los texas de houston, dieron positivo al covid y se me, lo paradÓjico, segÚn el reporte, es que ninguno de los jugadores a ido a centros de prÁcticas, y ambos clubes deportivos han seguido los protocolos de salud rigurosamente. dieron un comunicado que por ley de privacidad no darÁn a conocer los nombres y detalles de cada jugador podÍa estar afectado. borja: esperemos que pronto se recuperen, cambiamos de informaciÓn: los gobiernos de estados unidos y mÉxico extendieron otros 30 dÍas mÁs las restricciones de los cruces fronterizos, de violaban en el coronavirus. las restricciones exige que sÓlo crucen quienes hacen trabajos o comercios considerados esenciales para los dos paÍses. estados unidos tambiÉn acordÓ con canadÁ una extensiÓn similar. el presidente trump firma una orden ejecutiva que reforma los protocolos policiales. la medida se enfoca en incentivar

for more, we welcome back miami's republican mayor, francis suarez, who is also a coronavirus survivor. your honor, thank you for joining us. the penalties here, the risk of being shut down, first, second, third-time offense for increasing amounts of time, what are you expecting? what are you seeing in terms of compliance? >> what we're expecting is businesses to now have a major disincentive not to comply with the rules. we did that on top of last thursday implementing a mask in public rule, which had, you know, a warning and then also an escalating fine system for those who are not wearing their masks. we're just doing everything that we can without actually having to roll things back to prevent the spread of covid-19 in our community, which has hit record levels this week. we had two days -- one day which we had 1,500 new cases in a day. that's three times greater than our highest point in april. and at another day where we had 2,000 cases, 2,100 to be exact, you know, that's obviously four times greater than our high watermark in march, april. >> you mentioned you have that mandate

joining us now is miami mayor francis suarez. as of last night at 5:00 p.m.s a mandatory mask rule in the city of miami. which i know you think is a victory. however, it has a verbal warning. if somebody is caught not wearing a mask they get a verbal warning at first. is that strong enough? >> it's for a first offense. so we're letting people getti accustomed to it. the second one is a $50 fine and the fourth offense is a $500 fine so it's an escalating fine system. the stay at home order like we implemented in late march our expectation is that everyone is going to do it, to follow it. in march -- make sure everyone was at home, but what we did see in march that stay at home order was extremely effective. went from the time with we had an increase of 35 new cases a day to a decline of 14 new cases per day. almost within a one to two week period. so we're hoping that the mask in public requirement has a similar effect because frankly, we really don't want to have to go backwards and undo some of the openings and potentially reimpose a stay at home order. >> w

miami mayor francis suarez. what do you think went wrong here? >> what went wrong without a doubt was, the minute we started opening, people started socializing as if the coronavirus didn't exist. >> reporter: miami now requires face coverings in public and announced tougher penalties on businesses not in compliance. new jersey has decided to postpone allowing indoor dining given the spikes in other states. new york city may hold off too. with cases mounting in california, governor gavin newsom dialed back reopenings. peght counties including los angeles have now closed bars. dr. ashish jha is director of the harvard global health institute. >> i'm very concerned about large parts of our country, especially arizona, texas, florida, south carolina but other states as well, where we're seeing really, pretty substantial increases in cases. >> reporter: he also says declining death rates likely will rise again. >> typically it takes about two to three weeks from an infection 'til somebody gets sick enough to die from the disease. >> reporter: georgia

state officials so quickly what's being done well here in the city of miami the mayor of miami francis suarez is now requiring all residents everybody who's out to wear a mask unless you're working out unless you're running unless you're you're biking i have a mask you know i'm not trying to pull you know i'm not trying to look cool i do have a mask so you do have a lot more people i'm seeing walking around people are wearing masks and some people are a lot of people still are ok but more people are going out rick or younger people that millennial demographics 24 to 55 year old those are the people that are going out those are the people that are going to the bars to the restaurants those are the people that are working in any industry but again this continuous upward trend that is troubling to officials and you know as far as mitigating that look the bars the restaurants you have to wear a mask when you go in when you're sitting at a table you don't when you're out about you have to wear a mask it's not being enforced so various places are trying to do their best you know is it going to cont

. >> miami's mayor there, francis suarez, on the growing numbers in florida, as he made wearing face masks in public mandatory. the state reported almost 9,000 new cases, bringing the total number to almost 123,000 and deaths to more than 3,300. democratic congressman james clyburn appealed for people to wear masks. >> i grew up believing that the first sign of a good education is good manners. i think it's good manners. to look out for your fellow people. all of the staff is wearing masks. >> reporter: cnn's miguel marquez has more of what's going on in florida. >> reporter: the sunshine state, in a state of crisis. the number of coronavirus infections climbing at alarming rates, with florida reporting nearly 9,000 new cases. its highest single day to date. cities like holywood, demanding that masks be worn in public, even outdoors, except for exercising. >> i think of the safety for everybody, especially with numbers rising here, just do it. it's selfish not to. >> i think you should. >> no matter the circumstances. it should be up to you. it's your right. wear it or not to wear it

from the northwest to the southeast, francis suarez is a republican mayor of miami. thank you for joining us. >> so far so good. a little early. we implemented a curfew until 8:00 p.m. we are invoicing that curfew and we've had no confrontation so far. we are using our bike deploys as well as other tactical resources to make sure that we are able to disperse a crowd. they seem to be dispersing from all the indications we have right now. yesterday, things got a little bit dicier at night and there was some looting and there was some vandalizing of cars. that is not happen so far tonight and we hope it does not happen for the rest of the night. >> mr. mayor, i want to play a sound bite. characterized as a terrorist group and the president has pointed to as being behind some of these are many of these disturbances in different cities. take a listen to this and i will get your reaction. >> i want to make a big distinction between peaceful protesters, the difference between our country many of the authoritarian countries out there, when something like this happens, we inv

we are joined by the mayor of miami, francis suarez. mayor, thank you for joining us. your city has seen such a spike in cases over the last couple of weeks. it's now the hardest hit part of florida. is the surge too strong to control? >> we're doing everything we can, george, to control it. you know, our hospitals, they're starting to get stressed in terms of the number of people that are hospitalized. we just implemented last week a mask in public rule. we also passed fines associated with the mask in public rule and then yesterday i just announced for businesses that are not following the protocol and the rules that they're going to be shut down for ten days for the first occurrence, 15 days the second occurrence, and 30 days a third occurrence to penalize businesses that are not following the rules. so we're doing everything we can in miami to make sure that we can stop this spread. we had 6,900 new cases last week. two days we had 1,500 new cases in one day which was three times the high water mark of april and then 2,100 cases later that week. we're doing everyth

here with an update is the mayor of miami, francis suarez. mr.i understand there's been about 56 arrests is the number i got. what are you seeing on the ground? what can you tell the country. >> what we saw was on saturday in particular, there was basically two sets of protests. the first was a very peaceful protest during the day, started about 3:00 p.m. at about 6:45, that protest dissipated and we saw another band of people that was about 20% of the people that were on the street, and they were definitely there to create division, to create destruction, they came with backpacks, with items in the backpacks to destroy vehicles, to spray paint things, to set cars on fire. we arrested about 57 people. only 13 of those 57 were from the city of miami. the remainder came from other parts of the county or other parts of the country. and last night thankfully we upped our curfew to 8:00 p.m., just before sundown. we brought -- we had a press conference in the morning, pleading for people to be calm. we had no incidents. we had three arrests, no vandal

. >> that was francis suarez, the mayor of miami, florida. and joining me now is dr. jonathan rhiner, a codirector of the cardiac catherization laboratory at george washington university and cared for former vice president dick cheney. numbers soaring in many states. even the european union doesn't want americans traveling there despite the vice president speaking of, quote, remarkable progress. what needs to be done like yesterday? what would it take in a perfect world with actual leadership to bring this back under control? >> reaching out to the public and getting everyone in this country to wear a face mask when they go out into public, number one. testing many more patients than we're testing now. number three, probably in selective areas probably shutting some places down because the health care systems are really at the breaking point in places like texas. so i think we have to have the political will to do all of that. we did that in the earlier part of this first wave in places like massachusetts and new jersey. we have to do it now. we've seen some rumbles o

we're joined by the of miami francis suarez. thank you for joining us. florida reported the highest number of new cases in a single day. many of the state's cases centered in your beautiful city of miami. does the data you're seeing right now confirm this fear that potentially florida could be the next epicenter of this virus? >> you know, the data is extremely concerning. i think for the last eight days, florida has a record high. the high watermark when we implementation mentioned stay-at-home order was 1300 case. that was the high watermark for a very long time and we shut down our entire economy for this high watermark. we had 3200 cases yesterday. that's three times the high watermark. obviously in miami we're extremely concern about what we're seeing. you know, we're going to do everything we can to prevent miami from becoming an epicenter. >> governor desantis says florida is, his words, not rolling back on reopening but florida did see a 65% increase in new cases over the last week alone. can you really go about business as usual after seeing a s

. >> the mayor of miami, francis suarez, a man you know, he was with me in the situation room earlierek. he's considering a fine for people who refuse to wear masks. are you considering a fine or some other specific enforcement measure along those lines? >> yeah. i mean, the problem is, yes, i've spoken to the city manager. they would have to pass an ordinance, we would have to also. the problem is this. there's no unity in the community to do what needs to be done. some people, older people, are understandably concerned and they are complying 100%. younger people not so much. then there's this whole group of people who think politically they shouldn't be doing it. somehow this has become a political statement. there's no unity of approach right now like there would be for any other challenge like a hurricane or any other disaster we're facing. >> if the situation gets worse, would you consider backtracking on reopening or put a new stay-at-home order infect. >> -- order in effect. >> we're going to have to figure it out, with enhanced environment. at some point if our health system i

so, and that is another interesting point because francis suarez you heard a moment ago, was on the show yesterday, the mayor of miami, and he is looking at pausing in the move between the phases. not going from phase two to phase three. are you relying more on local leaders on, mayors to make those typeses of decisions reluctant and is the administration to reluctant to make it a statewide basis? >> from the beginning governor desantis was willing to work with local mayorses specially in the tri-county area, dade, broward and palm beach where we saw 60% of the cases of covid-19. we worked with the mayors. we made sure to give special consideration for counties that saw the outbreak. whereas, city of miami, within miami-dade county, i talked to the mayor of the county, not necessarily city mayor but county mayor, he is confident they're not going to roll back. they will continue to focus on enforcement. they will continue to focus on really make sure people are complying. dade county has a face mask ordinance. he wants from his perspective to make sure they're doing everything they can t

the mayor of the city of miami, francis suarez, saying he used to have one call with the florida department of health and now he's having two calls with the florida department of health because of this surge. now, when asked if he would consider reinstating a stay at home order he said that all options were on the table. >> all options have to be on the table. you know, what we see in the hospitalizations going up, the icu beds going up, the ventilators are going up, still with sufficient capacity but going up it's worrisome. we do have that tool in our tool box if we need to. but we're hoping we don't have to because of the devastating impact that it has on our economy. >> now, mayors in multiple cities and counties here in southeast florida upping enforcement to make sure they can do what they can to stop the spread of covid-19. here in miami beach where i am, officials say that they have closed at least four businesses in past week in the city of miami officials there are able to now fine people who are not wearing masks out in public. and in miami-dade county which accounts for 25% of a

joining me right now is miami mayor, francis suarez. what your hoping to hear from the florida governor ron de santis today? >> he's been supportive of our local efforts. we mandated masks last week. i recommend they do it statewide and all indications are that doing statewide could cut down on the number of new cases significantly. to me it's no different than saying everyone has to wear a seat belt. i under people want their freedom and certainly it's a decision whether you wear your seat belt or not but we should be able to make sure that people wear their seat belt just for their own safety so people wear masks for their own safety and safety of others. it's a measure that is easy to do. it can be inconvenient but easy to do and significantly, you know, significant improvement on the rates which today, we just hit a new record. over 2,000 new cases which is four times greater than what it was in late march. >> that has been the argument from those who oppose the idea of mandating a mask it impinges on their freedom. you are doing it

miami mayor francis suarez announced a city-wide mask mandate this week.the virus is like all too well. you're looking well, though, mayor, welcome back to "prime time." >> thank you so much, chris, i appreciate it. >> i know you and i are still figuring out why we're not completely right and that there's going to be a story to tell with this virus that you and i are trying to figure out ourselves. we'll put that into the conversation some day. right now, the governor says, masks, well, you know, tough to enforce, may not be the best use of resources. all the experts are saying masks are the best use of resources. your take? >> we implemented a mask rule in public this week because like you said, we saw, you know, a record number of cases the last few days in miami-dade county. to put the numbers in context, when we ordered -- put into effect a stay-at-home order, the high water mark was 533 cases, wo chris. we had 900 cases, which was twice the high water mark in march when we issued the stay-at-home order, which was incredibly effective. if we don't want

rules like wearing a mask, washing your hands, the social distancing, the city of miami mayor francis suarez was on our air earlier today talking about the increase in it the hospitalizations and the increase in need for ventilators here in miami, and he was asked the obvious questions, because these numbers continue to grow and the surge continues, would he consider reinstating a stay-at-home order. here's what he said. >> would you consider a stay-at-home order in miami again? >> alisyn, all options have to be on table. you know, when we see our hospitalizations go up, our icu beds go up, our ventilators are going up, still with sufficient capacity but going up, it's worrisome. >> reporter: now i should mention that we have heard very similar things from the mayor here in miami beach as well. again, many local mayors that are very close on the ground to the people in a are infected, they know the communities very well. they are sending very clear messages. they are requiring masks. the city of miami-dade county requiring masks. as of yesterday, effective immediately, there was an imagine o

our very own poppy harlow asked the city of miami mayor francis suarez if he would support a maga rally here in mime, and here's what he said. >> we're not opening large venues where you can have any sort of large congregation of people whether it's a sporting event, whether it's a real, so none of those kinds of things are open in the city and won't be open after today's data which is worse than last monday's was. >> reporter: now, john, i would love to ask that question to governor ran desantis to see what he thinks about hosting a maga rally here in mime he. what we do know from the governor he's upping enforcements and sending inspectors out to businesses like in miami-dade. doing it at the county level and at the state level he'll be sending out inspectors to make sure that the rules are being followed. john. >> day after day and day in recent days, rosa, those tough numbers out of florida. we'll stay on top of it. >>> the coronavirus reality here in the united states, the nation has the most cases globally and the number of new infections is, again, climbing. those are two facts t

the mayor francis suarez very concern concerned saying it is due to the increase in the number of hospitals and on ventilators and at icu and he mentioned there are certain zip codes that are of most concern including little havana in the zip codes he said the city of miami will hand out masks to anyone out in public that doesn't have one. again, this is a big step for a local mayor to say that face masks will be required in the city of miami. of course, we know that mayor -- excuse me governor ron desantis has not issued an order statewide despite the uptick in cases. earlier today our very own poppy harlow interviewed mayor suarez and asked how he felt about moving forward given the uptick in cases and asked if he would support president trump if he wanted to have a big rally for example here in the city of miami and here is what he said. take a listen. >> we're not opening large venues. where you could have any sort of large congregation of people. whether it is a sporting event or a rally. so no, those things are not open in the city and won't be open after today, which is worse than la

miami mayor francis suarez is joining us now live. mayor, thank you so much for speaking with us. i also just want to mention that you yourself had coronavirus and recovered so it is good to see you doing well with us this morning. thank you. >> thank you so much. it's a pleasure to be here. >> i want to jump right to the numbers here because florida reported a new daily record high of more than 1,900 new cases on friday. do you have any concern that your state, your city, are re-opening too soon? >> of course we're concerned. not only did we have a daily record of 1,900, the day before i think they had 1,700 so it's two consecutive days of the highest total new cases, you know, together. so, of course, we're concerned. we, as the city of miami, were the last to open in the entire state of florida. we lagged behind miami-dade county which lagged behind the rest of the state. having said that, there are major concerns. the cases continue to rise. we still have not incorporated into the data memorial day or all the protests so there are major concerns, you know, if the state data is

miami mayor francis suarez joins us now. mayor, thank you so much for being here.ittle concerning to see these numbers emerging. do we know why there has been an uptick like this before we get to the beaches? >> shows that once we started opening, particularly restaurants, people started congregating in large numbers. they sort of forgot about the rules. what we know about this virus is that it is very aggressive in iting growth. before we locked down the city it was growing 35 new cases per day. as of last monday, it has been growing at a pace of over 40 new cases per day. it is a fairy aggressive virus and it didn't take much for it to spread very, very quickly. jedediah: when it comes to the beaches, do you feel that is the right decision? one thing always brought up by people, that's outdoors. as we know, you are less likely to catch this virus in an outdoor environment than a indoor environment f people don't have a place to go outdoors, will they try to flock indoors somewhere? what do you make of the ruling on the beaches? >> yeah, you know, i think the othe

mayor francis suarez joins me now. good to see you.when you look at these numbers what is your major concern? >> the numbers are just very alarming. if you think about when we ordered a stay at home order the high water mark was 1300 cases. you're showing a graphic that has it at 4,000 cases so it's more than three times that amount. just yesterday, miami-dade county, just one of the counties in the state of florida, we had 900 new cases. we're very close to the high water mark for the entire state. so that is a major concern. we're starting to see hospitalizations also go up. tomorrow, we're going to be hosting a press conference with mayors from a varieties of cities to start cracking down on those who are not following the rules and respecting the rules that have been promulgated. >> practically for you, what does it look like to slow down phase three of this reopening? >> what it looks like is we're not opening up bars. we're not opening up movie theaters, not opening up any sports, you know, entertainment venues that have large co
