Operative words

PortMiami's Administration is operating under CDC guidelines for preventive measures against COVID-19, including Port Operations, the Business Permits section, the Port ID section, Procurement, Customer Service, and the Safety and Security section. Port employees able to work remotely are already doing so from home.... On the cargo side, PortMiami's three terminal yards continue operations. Port users are encouraged to contact the cargo terminals directly to confirm hours of operations.... USCG in conjunction with the CDC has established protocols for the detection of the virus and will review the situation on a case-by-case basis. The USCG Captain of the Port evaluates each case with the CDC, and in partnership with CBP, will take the appropriate action as needed.

Enforcement

Administrative; COTP/CDC/CBP protocols recited

Notes
