PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. â Pinellas County leaders are on a mission to not repeat history with the start of the Spring Break season quickly approaching. Last year, our prized beaches were packed with tourists, fueling pandemic fears and making national headlines as COVID-19 concerns climbed.
Visit St. Pete Clearwater leaders insist that this year will be different.
Steve Hayes, the President of Visit St. Pete Clearwater says their Rise to Shine safety campaign focuses on enforcing safe behavior. âA big difference between last year and this year is there is so much more known about the pandemic now, so people are much more conscious about what they need to do,â he explained.
