MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - Miami Beach has closed all summer camps at public parks as a measure to help stem the spread of COVID-19.

City officials said the closures went into effect on Monday.

Officials said they issued the shutdown due to the rising number of reported COVID-19 cases in South Florida.
