Miami Beach police dispersed spring-break crowds with pepper spray balls and SWAT teams, enforcing a tightened curfew Saturday night. The 8 p.m. curfew and ban on traffic on central roads was announced a few hours earlier, after city officials said a larger-than-usual number of people flocked to the city as one of the few places open during Covid-19 restrictions. The Miami Herald reported that it took the police two hours to clear one busy avenue. Officials in the Tampa Bay area, another popular spring-break destination, say hotels are filling up but that they have not had to step up law enforcement, Bay News 9 reported.
