Life in South Florida has been dramatically changed by COVID-19. Restrictions and official orders have disrupted just about every part of our day-to-day. The new coronavirus has also continued to spread in parts of Latin America and the Caribbean, and our state and local officials are trying to determine the best path forward for returning to some kind of “normal.”
WLRN is here for you, even when life is unpredictable. Local journalists are working hard to keep you informed on the latest developments across South Florida. Please support this vital work. Become a WLRN member today. Thank you.
