Florida Keys closing to visitors as of Sunday
By Keys Weekly - March 19, 2020
By: Mandy Miles, Jim McCarthy and Sara Matthis
The Florida Keys and Key West will close all hotels, campgrounds, short-term rentals and other lodging establishments as of Sunday, Monroe County Mayor Heather Carruthers announced late Thursday. “Obviously this decision was not taken lightly, but it was made in light of the increases in COVID-19 cases in South Florida, and we’re at the doorstep of South Florida,” Carruthers said.
When asked about potential roadblocks, checkpoints or other vehicular traffic controls coming into the Keys, Gastesi said nothing is off the table, but currently there are no plans for such measures.
The Keyswide hotel closure, announced during a Thursday evening, March 19 virtual press conference, will apply to all 16,500 hotel rooms and other lodging units throughout the island chain that houses approximately 5,000 lodging establishments. The closure includes Key West, Marathon and other cities in Monroe County.

Kids don't remember that one.
1982 - the "memories" are a lot softer than reality at the time. While never all that serious there were some POed folks at the time.

The Conch underground is as alive as ever thanks to the continuing efforts of the JFKCMA FID school on Flemming Key.
Roadblock on US 1 (A1A) at Florida City is being set up as we speak, Valid Pass Ports required.
Official Conch Republic Site
a little history
In reality, the closing of the Keys SUCKS big time.
The county has a population of 70+K, of which 65+% make a living in the tourist industry, 25% Aqua-Agro business, and 10% retired FOG's. Most will not be covered by unemployment.
