Yes. Ft. Lauderdale is in Broward county where a lot of spring breakers hang out -- but those beaches were shut down -- most beaches in FL are closed. There is a number given for total cases for all of FL and then cases in FL that do no include non FL residents.
Miami-Dade has a heavy illegal and Hispanic population.
They account for 1/2 of the FL cases (so far)

Right now, it appears that 15% of those infected are being hospitalized. Not good. Death rate in my county is 5%. .

Florida sees sharp spike in coronavirus infections as fears grow it could be another hotspot
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-sees-sharp-spike-in-coronavirus-infections-as-fears-grow-it-could-be-another-hotspot
--- Quote ---Fears are growing that Florida could be another coronavirus hotspot after a sharp increase in infections in the last 24 hours and nearly two dozen more deaths.
Health officials said Saturday morning they have seen 863 additional positive COVID-19 cases, which brought the total tally of cases to 3,763.
Florida is now the fourth most-hit state in the United States, after New York, New Jersey, and California, according to data by health officials and Johns Hopkins University.
Miami-Dade and Broward counties – the two most populous in the state – have recorded the highest number of infections, with more than 400 new cases between the two over the last 24 hours. Miami's Mayor Francis Javier Suarez tested positive for the virus and told Fox News he is recovering well.
At least 54 people have died of coronavirus in Florida, including at least 3 in Miami-Dade and 11 in Broward counties.
