Miami mayor says people must wear masks, as Florida records almost 10,000 new cases.

Florida has recorded almost 10,000 new COVID-19 cases – a new record for the US state  – as an increasing number of states count the human cost of trying to reopen their economies in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, says people must now wear masks.
