Georgia State Legislators Urged to Self-Quarantine; Spring Break Revelers Party On in Florida
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Georgia, all 236 state legislators have been urged to self-isolate
for weeks, after a state senator disclosed he tested positive for
COVID-19. In Florida, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale have closed
beaches, but many others remain open. Florida Senator Rick Scott pleaded
Thursday for spring break revelers to stop crowding together on beaches.
Two regional airlines - Compass and Trans State, which partner with
United, American Airlines and Delta - said they will suspend service by
the end of the month. Elsewhere in the U.S., at least 90 cities and
states have suspended water shutoffs during the pandemic.
