Miami is now the hardest hit city in Florida's coronavirus outbreak.
Since Miami began reopening in late May, Mayor Francis Suarez said he's seen people acting as though the coronavirus pandemic never happened.
"The minute that we opened, it was like COVID didn't exist and people just forgot and, in some cases, are still forgetting," Suarez told ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
"You know, the city of Miami was actually the last city in the entire state of Florida to open," he added.
"I got criticized at the time for taking too long, some said."

South Dakota won't be enforcing social distancing at the Mount Rushmore July 4th celebration with President Donald Trump, Republican Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News Monday night.
"We told those folks that have concerns that they stay can home. But those who want to come join us, we will be giving out free face masks if they choose to wear one," Noem said in a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham.
"We won't be social distancing, we're asking them to come, be ready to celebrate the freedoms and the liberties we have in this country."
Noem added that she's told residents to focus on "personal responsibility" and that everyone should make a decision "that they're comfortable with."
