While University of Miami canceled spring break this semester because of the pandemic, other universities kept the week-long break in place. With that, another tradition also remained in place – spring break on South Beach.
Some UM students may be envious of the hundreds of students who have flocked to South Beach to get their party on, but many say they worry that the student tourists will make local COVID-19 cases rise.
“We’ve gone through a year of this pandemic; they could have stayed home instead of coming to South Beach to act a fool,” said Asia Chester, a sophomore biochemistry major.
