“Ladies only morning” at South Beach
With effect Monday June 15, there will be a Ladies Only morning at South Beach from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Why Distancing Measures?
The virus, SARS-CoV-2, spreads between people who are in close contact (within 2 meters/6 feet) for a prolonged period. This occurs when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, and droplets from their mouth or nose are released into the air and land in the mouths or inhaled into the lungs of people nearby.
Learn more about how you can achieve 2 meters of separation here
Once again, we’d like to thank you for your cooperation and ongoing adherence to directives. These have been designed to keep you safe and to help manage the crisis.
