BOSTON, MASS. -- Mayor Philip Levine said that right now, the situation is under control on Miami Beach.

There are five cases of local spread, and the city is hitting this problem head on as an educational response.

“It will be eliminated,” he said.

He also said he was not surprised about the Federal government’s slow response, but that his partners are working hard to address funding and travel and shipping protocols.
