Florida bar shut down after hundreds pack in without masks
A popular outdoor bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has shut down after hundreds of patrons gathered there over the weekend. Photos and videos taken at The Wharf on Friday and Saturday show maskless patrons standing close together, violating Broward County's coronavirus safety guidance.
After the bar attracted hundreds of guests, it was shut down by county officials by 11 p.m. on Saturday, Broward Mayor Steve Geller told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The Wharf was set to be shut down for at least 24 hours, but management announced on Twitter Sunday that it would stay closed temporarily.
"Unfortunately, due to the statewide spike in cases and local regulations, we will be temporarily shutting down," the tweet read. "We'll reopen when we're able to provide the proper experience for you at our beautiful outdoor venue. Stay Safe & Stay tuned!"
Broward County's emergency guidance requires people to wear a facial covering in public and urges everyone to practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet from other people, avoiding groups and crowded places.
