上午8:06:密歇根州有超过100起案件与单一酒吧有关
官员称，至少有107起新的COVID-19案件与密歇根州东兰辛的一家酒吧有关。
英厄姆县卫生局要求在6月12日至6月20日期间去哈珀餐厅和酿酒酒吧的任何人，在参观后的14天内隔离自己，观察症状。
被感染的人年龄在16岁到28岁之间，目前还没有人住院。大多数病例都有轻微症状，有28人完全没有症状。官员称，至少40%是密歇根州立大学的学生或应届毕业生。
官员们说，只有12例病例是二次传播，也就是说，那些接触过原发病例但自己没有去酒吧的人。
。由于2020年6月28日COVID-19的爆发，密歇根州东兰辛的哈珀斯已经关闭。
在一份声明中发布到脸书上上周，哈珀餐厅和酿造酒吧宣布，它已决定暂时关闭，以实施一项计划，消除生产线和安装空气净化技术。根据州长的行政命令，该酒吧于6月8日以50%的容量重新开业。
该公司在6月22日的帖子中写道:“我们在大楼前的公共人行道上排了长队。”。“我们试图通过公共人行道上的标志和栏杆上的横幅，指导排队的顾客戴上面罩，练习社交距离。我们对楼梯上的线路的监管是成功的，但让顾客在公共人行道上遵循我们的建议是一项挑战。”
越来越多的案例促使英厄姆县官员发布紧急命令，将餐馆的容纳量减少到50%或不超过75人，以人数较少者为准。餐厅的容量已经限制在正常座位的50%，但对顾客数量没有限制。
“很难控制大量人群，”英厄姆县卫生官员琳达·维尔在周一晚上的一份声明中说。“通过允许不超过75人，餐馆和酒吧将能够更好地加强社交距离，并使用面具和面罩。我强烈鼓励所有酒吧和餐馆严格执行安全措施，并尽一切努力帮助阻止冠状病毒在我们社区的传播。”
迈阿密市长说:“我们开业的那一刻，就好像COVID不存在一样。”
自从迈阿密在五月下旬重新开放以来，市长弗朗西斯·苏亚雷斯说他看到人们表现得好像冠状病毒大流行从未发生过。
“我们开张的那一刻，就好像COVID不存在，人们只是忘记了，在某些情况下，还在忘记，”苏亚雷斯在周二接受美国广播公司新闻节目主持人乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯(George Stephanopoulos)采访时说
“你知道，迈阿密市实际上是整个佛罗里达州最后一个开放的城市，”他补充道。"有人说，当时我因耗时太长而受到批评。"

2020年6月30日，迈阿密市长弗朗西斯·苏亚雷斯出现在“早安美国”节目中。
随着病例在阳光州上升，迈阿密现在是佛罗里达新的冠状病毒爆发中受灾最严重的城市。市长说他的办公室正在尽一切努力控制病毒的传播。
苏亚雷斯说:“人们聚集在一起，他们玩得很开心，他们开派对，他们非常有效地传播疾病，这开始给我们的医院系统带来压力。”。
迈阿密和迈阿密戴德县的其他几个城市现在已经强制要求人们在任何时候都要戴口罩，苏亚雷斯称之为“不用担心”迈阿密也对不遵守规定的人实施了罚款。同时，被发现不遵守冠状病毒协议的企业将在第一次发生时被关闭10天，第二次发生时被关闭15天，第三次发生时被关闭30天。
苏亚雷斯说:“他们对我们执行这些规则感到不安，但我们正试图以外科手术的方式来做到这一点，这样我们就不必撤销我们已经做的一些开放措施。”。“我们这样做也是为了不必重新实施在家办公的命令，这在3月和4月初非常有效，但也削弱了我们的经济。”

The event will take place on July 3.Noem added that she's told residents to focus on "personal responsibility" and that everyone should make a decision "that they're comfortable with."
8:57 a.m.: Brooklyn Nets star DeAndre Jordan tests positive for COVID-19

8:06 a.m.: Over 100 cases linked to single bar in Michigan
At least 107 new cases of COVID-19 have been linked to a bar in East Lansing, Michigan, officials said.
The Ingham County Health Department is asking anyone who went to Harper's Restaurant & Brew Pub between June 12 and June 20 to quarantine themselves for 14 days since their visit and watch for symptoms.
The infected individuals are between the ages of 16 and 28, and none have been hospitalized so far. Most of the cases have had mild symptoms, with 28 people having no symptoms at all. At least 40% are Michigan State University students or recent graduates, officials said.
Just 12 of the cases are from secondary transmission, meaning people who were in contact with a primary case but did not go to the bar themselves, officials said.
Harper's in East Lansing, Mich., has been closed due to a COVID-19 outbreak, June 28, 2020.
In a statementposted to Facebooklast week, Harper's Restaurant & Brew Pub announced that it has decided to close temporarily to implement a program to eliminate lines and to install air purifying technology. The bar said it had reopened at 50% capacity on June 8 according to the governor's executive order.
"We have experienced long lines on the public sidewalk in front of our building," the business wrote in the June 22 post. "We have attempted to instruct customers waiting in line to wear face coverings and practice social distancing through signage on the public sidewalk and with a banner on our railing. Our oversight of the line on our stairs has been successful, but trying to get customers to follow our recommendations on the public sidewalk has been challenging."
The growing cluster of cases has prompted Ingham County officials to issue an emergency order reducing restaurant capacity to 50% or no more than 75 people, whichever is less. Restaurant capacity was already restricted to 50% of normal seating, but there was no limitation on the number of patrons.
"Large crowds are difficult to control," Ingham County health officer Linda Vail said in a statement Monday night. "By allowing no more than 75 people, restaurants and bars will be better able to enforce social distancing and the use of masks and face coverings. I strongly encourage all bars and restaurants to strictly enforce safety measures and to do all they can to help stop the spread of coronavirus in our community."
7:25 a.m.: 'The minute we opened, it was like COVID didn't exist,' Miami mayor says
Since Miami began reopening in late May, Mayor Francis Suarez said he's seen people acting as though the coronavirus pandemic never happened.
"The minute that we opened, it was like COVID didn't exist and people just forgot and, in some cases, are still forgetting," Suarez told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
"You know, the city of Miami was actually the last city in the entire state of Florida to open," he added. "I got criticized at the time for taking too long, some said."

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez appears on "Good Morning America," June 30, 2020.
Miami is now the hardest-hit city in Florida's novel coronavirus outbreak as cases rise across the Sunshine State. The mayor said his office is doing everything they can to control the spread of the virus.
"People are congregating, they're having a good time, they're partying and they're spreading the disease incredibly efficiently, and it's starting to stress our hospital system," Suarez said.
Miami and a handful of other cities in Miami-Dade County have now made it mandatory for people to wear face masks in public at all times, which Suarez called "a no-brainer." Miami has also implemented fines for those who don't follow the rule. Meanwhile, businesses that are found not following coronavirus protocols will be shut down for 10 days on the first occurrence, 15 days on the second occurrence and 30 days on the third occurrence.
"They're upset that we're implementing some of these rules, but we're trying to do that in a surgical way so that we don't have to undo some of the openings that we've done," Suarez said. "We're doing it also so that we don't have to re-implement a stay-at-home order, which was extremely effective in March and early April but it also crippled our economy."

5:24 a.m.: Australia to reimpose lockdown on Melbourne suburbs
Australian officials will reimpose lockdown restrictions on a number of suburbs around Melbourne, as the country's second-largest city grapples with a spike in coronavirus infections.
Beginning at 11:59 p.m. local time on Wednesday, a stay-at-home order will take effect in 10 postal codes in the Melbourne area that have been identified as community transmission hot spots for the novel coronavirus. The lockdown will remain in place at least until July 29, according to a statement Tuesday from Daniel Andrews, premier of the southeastern Australian state of Victoria.
"I know this will be terribly disruptive and difficult but if everyone sticks to the rules and we see transmission come down, then in four weeks the restrictions can lift," Andrews said.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews speaks to the media in Melbourne, Australia, on June 30, 2020. A graphic displays 10 postal codes in the Melbourne area that will be required to return to tougher restrictions at 11:59 p.m. local time on July 1 due to a recent spike in coronavirus infections.
Residents of the affected postal codes will only be allowed to leave their homes to shop for food and supplies, to seek and provide care, to exercise, and to study or go to work -- if they can't do so from home. Businesses and facilities in those areas that have recently reopened, including beauty salons, gyms, libraries and swimming pools, will once again be restricted. Cafes and restaurants will again only be open for take-away and delivery service, Andrews said.
"Very clearly, this is not where we wanted to be," he added. "I understand people are tired. We're all frustrated. We all just want things to go back to how they once were. And the sooner we all do the right thing, the sooner we can beat this."
Just under 8,000 people in Australia have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and at least 104 of them have died, according to a count kept by Johns Hopkins University.
4:42 a.m.: WHO to send team to China to investigate COVID-19 origin
The World Health Organization is sending a team to China to investigate the origins of the novel coronavirus.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, attends a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 25, 2020.
The very first cases of COVID-19 were identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan last December, months before the rapidly spreading outbreak was declared a pandemic.
Tedros said the investigative team will travel there next week.
"We hope that will lead into understanding how the virus started and what we can do for the future to prepare," he added.

By May 20, all states had begun lifting stay-at-home orders and other restrictions put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. The day-to-day increase in cases then hovered around 20,000 for a couple of weeks before shooting back up to over 30,000 and then crossing 40,000 last week.
Nearly half of all 50 states have seen a rise in infections in recent weeks, with some -- such as Florida, South Carolina and Georgia --reporting daily records.
