OFFICE OF THE VILLAGE MANAGER LETTER TO COUNCIL
NO. 110-2020
To: Mayor Gabriel Groisman and Members of the Village Council
From: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Village Manager
Date: July 31, 2020
Subject: Isolation of Visitors Traveling to Bal Harbour
The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to inform you status of the travel
quarantine executive orders as they apply to our community.
By way of background, on March 23, 2020, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued
Florida Executive Order Number 20-80, which directed all individuals coming into the
State of Florida from an area with substantial community spread, including the New
York Tri-State Area (Connecticut, New Jersey and New York), to isolate or quarantine
for a period of 14 days from the time of entry into the state or the duration of the
person's presence in the state. Effective March 31, 2020, I issued Bal Harbour Village
Order 07-20 which expanded on the State Order and required all persons arriving in
Bal Harbour Village by any means or mode of transportation from the following areas
of documented substantial community spread to isolate or quarantine for 14 days:
California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington State. On May 21, 2020, this the Bal
Harbour Order was amended to only include the three states in the State Order (New
York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) and all international travel.
Effective July 31, 2020, the Bal Harbour Village Order 07-20 was rescinded, given that
the State of Florida Quarantine Orders Order 20-82 and upheld in Order 20-139 (see
below links) for individuals arriving from the Tri-State Area (New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut) remains in effect, and the Federal Government has in place Proclamation
9994 (see below link) restricting visitors from China, Iran, the European Schengen area
(Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City), the United Kingdom (England,
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), the Republic of Ireland, and Brazil. Given the state
and federal orders, it is no longer necessary for Bal Harbour to have its own Emergency
Order in place covering the same points.

In Proclamation 9994 of March 13, 2020 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak), I declared a national emergency recognizing the threat
that the novel (new) coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 poses to our Nation’s healthcare systems. It
is the policy of the United States to respond to the ongoing, unprecedented outbreak of COVID-19
(the disease caused by SARS‑CoV-2) with ever y tool and resource available to the United States
Government. Consistent with this policy, I have suspended and limited the entry of aliens recently
present in certain foreign jurisdictions where significant COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred. These
jurisdictions include the People’s Republic of China (excluding the Special Administrative Regions
of Hong Kong and Macau), the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom
(excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), and the Republic of Ireland.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a component of the Department of Health
and Human Ser vices, working in close coordination with the Department of Homeland Security,
has determined that the Federative Republic of Brazil is experiencing widespread, ongoing person-
to-person transmission of SARS-CoV-2. A s of May 23, 2020, the World Health Organization reported
that the Federative Republic of Brazil had 310,087 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which is the third
highest number of confirmed cases in the world.

The potential for undetected transmission of the virus by infected individuals seeking to enter the
United States from the Federative Republic of Brazil threatens the security of our transportation
system and infrastructure and the national security, and I have determined that it is in the interests
of the United States to take action to restrict and suspend the entry into the United States, as
immigrants or nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the Federative
Republic of Brazil during the 14-day period preceding their entr y or attempted entr y into the United
States. The free flow of commerce between the United States and the Federative Republic of Brazil
remains an economic priority for the United States, and I remain committed to facilitating trade
between our nations.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by the authority vested in
me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 212(f ) and
215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f ) and 1185(a), and section 301 of title
3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted entry into the United States of persons
described in section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in section 2 of this
proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and that their entr y should be
subject to certain restrictions, limitations, and exceptions. I therefore hereby proclaim the
following:
Section 1. Suspension and Limitation on Entry. The entry into the United States, as immigrants or
nonimmigrants, of all aliens who were physically present within the Federative Republic of Brazil
during the 14-day period preceding their entr y or attempted entr y into the United States is hereby
suspended and limited subject to section 2 of this proclamation.
Sec. 2. Scope of Suspension and Limitation on Entry.
