MIAMI (WSVN) - The City of Miami Police chief is asking the public to stay indoors and avoid coming in close contact with one another after some of his officers contracted the coronavirus.

“Please, stay inside, adhere to social distancing, wear a mask or a cloth face covering and be responsible,” he said.
