Beaches in Southern California were packed with people over the weekend. Many of those individuals did not adhere to the state and White House’s social distancing guidelines. At a Monday press conference, Newsom warned beachgoers that the “virus doesn’t go home because it’s a beautiful, sunny day around our coasts.”
FOX LA journalist Bill Melugin on Wednesday night posted a bulletin that will reportedly inform California police chiefs of Newsom’s upcoming announcement to close all beaches and parks from Friday. Melugin says the bulletin will be sent out tomorrow.
“After the well-publicized media coverage of overcrowded beaches this past weekend, in violation of Governor Newsom’s Shelter in Place Order, the Governor will be announcing tomorrow that ALL beaches and all state parks in California will be closed, effective Friday, May 1st,” the document read.
