that travelers to the US will no longer be required to test negative before entering the country, which goes into effect Sunday at midnight. show that Miami-Dade County, Honolulu County, and San Juan are each reporting positivity rates higher than 20%, with an average of 85 positive cases per 100,000 residents — this is compared to the national average of 34 positive cases per 100,000 people.
Miami's positive case rate has continued to worsen since April, which Dr. Mary Jo Trepka of Florida International University's epidemiology department told the New York Times could be attributed to several factors, including the surge of spring break travelers this year and the return of major events like the Miami Grand Prix race.
"I think people are no longer taking precautions as they did before," Trepka said."People were masking more here in the county, and we are seeing less of that. People are being less careful, because they are tired." Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told the New York Times that hers is the most vaccinated county in the state, and as a result, it has experienced fewer hospitalizations compared to former coronavirus surges in the area. Still, she continued to urge residents to take precautions.
"We have not beaten this virus, but we know how to control it," she wrote in a statement to the New York Times.
