MIAMI (WSVN) - Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is encouraging the public to shelter-in-place as a precaution amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.
His announcement was made in an attempt to protect those most vulnerable to the virus — the elderly and those with underlying health issues.
“I urge you, in the strongest terms, to shelter-in-place to the extent possible, and to avoid any and all unnecessary interactions with others,” said Suarez.
The mayor tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month and has been in self-quarantine since his diagnosis.
