starts today with the exclusion of three counties including miami-dade where i am and broward and palm beach county. these counties make up about 30%. that's why these mayors got together decided to reopen simultaneously. they are excluding phase one but they did reopen parks and water ways on wednesday. what we learn from miami beach police today that they issued nearly 8,000 warnings over the weekend to individuals who went to parks and were not wearing face coverings and not social distancing and 1300 people had to be asked to leave these places at the end of the day. when it comes to the state of florida, phase one kicks off today and that includes restaurants and retail stores, being able to reopen at 25% capacity. now restaurants will have outside seatings. the seatings will have to be six feet apart. krarg el k elective surgeries will resume. schools are closed and bars and gyms and hair salons are still close. start thinking of phase two, testing is going to be key. he has waived some rules to allow pharmacists to test things at cvs or walmart. a lot more testing including antibody testing.

in bush versus gore, the way forward in the way palm beach county was running the election was favoring one candidate over the other, or was so irrational that it didn't make any sense. a lot of these alternative ideas -- you could have an election with completely mail in voting. it is up to a state. others might adopt it or not. this is an issue about lockdowns. an interesting case came out of pennsylvania. the u.s. supreme court just denied an appeal on it. there is a plaintiff running for a seat in the assembly. i am from pennsylvania, hence this wawa mug, which does not exist in california because of the horrible nature of federalism. only the east coast. this guy is named danny devito. what is danny devito doing running for office in pennsylvania? it is a different danny devito. he says these lockdown policies protect incumbents. if you are in the state legislature, you are an essential employee. you are allowed to keep the operations of government going. if you are an incumbent, how do you challenge someone? you can't hold fundraisers. you can't hold events. his argued his right t

closely with the counties that are adjacent to miami, miami-dade county, broward county, and palm beach county. and with your governor. these are the counties for people who don't know, they're the counties of southeast physic florida. what happens if you start to see an upnitick in cases? do you have a plan? >> yes, obviously our entire phased approach, which is like, you know, the state and federal government phase one, phase two, phase three is predicated on criteria, and that criteria needs to be met before you can advance to a second phase, and obviously, if we start to see a counter trend, then unfortunately we have to reverse, and that's something that i've said, you know, very clearly from my first message in announcing what we call stand up miami, the reopening plan. there are two paths. there's the path of responsibility and the path of irresponsibility. if we take the path of responsibility, we'll hopefully be able to continue the downward trajectories that will allow us to go into aez tphase two. if we take the path of irresponsibility, unfortunately what we've seen statistically i

miami-dade, broward and palm beach counties account for about 30% of the population in the state, but they account for about 60% of the more than 35,000 cases and 56% of the more than 1300 deaths in the state. that's why it's no surprise that the mayors of this area got together and they decided to reopen -- now they're excluded from phase one, but they did reopen parks, waterways and other public spaces in this area with restrictions. they are requiring face coverings and social distancing. now, not everyone is following the rules, we checked in with miami beach, the police there tell us that they have issued about 1500 warnings to park g r goers who are not wearing face coverings or are not social distancing. covid-19 has created another huge issue in these three counties. feeding south florida reports an increase of 600% in the demand of people needing food assistance. because there's been a stay at home order, there's been a decrease in volunteers, so hear this, the florida national guard has been deployed to these food banks to help pack and sort food to make sure people in this

miami-dade, broward and palm beach county, but on a bright note the governor plans to increase testingy're testing 15,000 people a day. he hopes to ramp that up to 20,000 people a day by may 15th and 30,000 people a day by june 15th. walgreens he just announced will also be opening some drive through testing areas at nine locations and the national guard will continue to ramp up testing in nursing homes. randi kaye, cnn, west palm beach, florida. >>> meat packing plants in the united states are under a federal executive order to stay open amid the coronavirus crisis, but that can raise serious issues for plant managers, ranchers and workers. cnn's omar jimenez reports now from wisconsin. >> reporter: it's a farm in its fifth generation, but one that's never operated in an environment like this. >> we'll make the changes we need to make. >> reporter: terry quan is a fifth generation farmer. how concerned are you specifically? >> there's no handbook for this. there's no answer of when things are going to come around and be normal. when will people be able to go back to the restaurants an

i talked to the head administrator of lakeview nursing home care center in palm beach county florida, you can see there that the people are smiling, they are kind, they are friendly, wearing personal protective equipment. if someone gets covid-19, they alert the hospital, they talk to infectious disease experts, they alert the family, they isolate the patient. there's one specific person i want to talk about in the nursing home. she's 91, she is a holocaust survivor. her son is my father's cardiologist. we talked about how he saved my father's life from covid-19. two days ago, he saved my father's life from a soaring blood pressure. and you know what he told me? i'm worried about his mom tonight, because he is worried about my father. his mom is safe in the lakeview care center. let's listen to what the administrator had to say about the place. >> we take temperature prior to entering building, we are wearing protective equipment. >> we have to learn from this, tucker. here in new york, we have to learn from this. we are sending people back to nursing homes, the governor is allowing i

gore, and dish with the supreme court said the way forward in that county, palm beach county, was running that election was this saving one candidate over another on purpose, or it was so irrational that it didn't make any sense. so here a lot of these alternative ideas are up to -- consider, you could have a completely mail-in voting. if lots of states networks, they might adopt or they might not. the second question asked about -- this is more an issue about lockdowns. there's an interesting case the came out of pennsylvania, the supreme court just denied a hearing and appeal on it. in pennsylvania i love this guy, there's a plaintiff who was running for a seat in the house, i mean the assume it. i am originally from pennsylvania, hence this while wall-mounted which does exist in california because of the horrible nature federalism. only on east coast. this guy is name danny devito. what is danny devito doing whatever office in pennsylvania? he went like that but it's actually a different danny devito. he made clint is lockdown policies protect incumbents because right, , if you're in t

we're also now seeing coverage, local coverage, from places like palm beach county in florida where a county-run 70-bed hospital that serves the community of bell glade florida reports they've maxed out their icu bed space as the number of cases continues to rise. the health care district says they started to see spikes in admissions and emergency room visits at of may 7th. nevertheless, florida has been steadily reopening and removing restrictions on peoples' behavior and travel. they've seen a steady rise in cases since then, and they are full up. there are no more icu beds available there. in minnesota, "the minnesota star tribune" reports that hospitalizations and icu beds are rising rapidly too. this is the lead, as minnesotans observe memorial day, the official start of summer, the number of covid-19 patients needing intensive care beds climbs to a record high, increasing by the largest number in a single day. quote, the 41-patient spike in icu beds in use from sunday to monday was the largest single day increase in icu beds since the pandemic arrived in minnesota back in march.

. >> these three major counties, yours, miami-dade, broward, and palm beach county, did you coordinate on this because there's a lot of interchange between your counties. one of the things you and i keep discussing is that sadly for miami, you don't have boundaries around where you are, and you have a major airport. so to you, it's like new york or l.a. you got people coming in and out of your counties all the time. >> yeah. a lot of people think that all of south florida is miami, but certainly the county mayors of the three counties have been talking and coordinating, and they've been coordinating with the governor. and i think the governor did the right thing in allowing the three counties to make their own decision. certainly nobody enjoyed watching the pictures at the beginning of this pandemic of, you know, spring breakers not observing social distancing. and we saw some rather, you know, some rather interesting statistics and graphics that showed where just one stretch of beach, which was very small for spring breakers that were there for a two-week period, what that could -- ho

that would be miami-dade, broward and palm beach county where i am, fred. they remain under stay-at-home orders. 6 million people, 30% of florida's population, and i did speak with the dean of the college of medicine at the university of southern florida, and he said that's the right call. he said that is the epicenter of the disease and he told me, fred, 60% of all the cases, all the deaths and all the hospitalizations are coming from those three counties. >> wow. and then what about an increase testing? is that part of any reopening plans, particularly for those it three counties. >> reporter: that is. the governor is proud of the testing he says is taking place here in the state of florida, although many say it isn't enough. right now they are doing about 15,000 tests a day near the state. the governor says he hopes to increase that with some mobile units going around the state as well. hopes to get that to 20,000 tests a day by may 15th, and 30,000 tests a day by june 15th. so we'll see if he gets there, fred. >> all right. randi kaye, thank you so much
