“There’s no one to blame," Anzarouth told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. “I understand that I put myself into a place where I risked my health.”
Anzarouth also shared his story on Instagram. A lot has changed since Anzarouth was in South Beach, city officials have closed beaches, restaurants, stores, hotels and set up an evening curfew in an effort to stop the spread of the new coronavirus.
