Officials in Miami, the unofficial spring break capital of the US, are kicking partiers off beaches

and implementing 11 p.m. curfews to curb the coronavirus spread

Spring break has come to screeching halt in Miami Beach.

Over the weekend, local Florida officials implemented new restrictions in the area to help curb the spread of coronavirus. There are currently 155 known infected cases in the state.

Measures taken locally include shutting down South Beach (the popular part of Miami Beach), implementing an 11 p.m. curfew, and limiting crowds to 250 people.

"It's extremely upsetting because most students only get one spring break," 21-year-old Gabby Porter, who was in Miami for spring break, told Business Insider of the restrictions.

No chugging and puking or public nudity I guess.

I haven't been to a spring break since the 70's. But I've watched where kids are going. And the wealthy are not going to florida any more.

for some time. And by the way, partying while the country is the grip of this disease going on? Give me a break. Pathetic and selfish when people are getting sick and some are dying.
