(CNN) — Veronica Pena says she's spent the past year carefully navigating the Covid-19 pandemic in the mostly restriction-free state of Florida. The Miami Beach resident stopped going to bars, gets regularly tested and has a tight circle of friends she interacts with, who are as cautious as she is. Now, as she waits to get her Covid-19 vaccine shot, Pena has a new self-imposed restriction: She won't venture anywhere near areas like South Beach that have been packed with often mask-less spring breakers looking for a carefree vacation -- and an escape from the restrictions still in place in other parts of the country. "I don't see anyone taking any precautions, whatsoever," Pena, 32, told CNN. "No one's wearing masks, no one's social distancing."
