As temperatures soared into the upper 80s in some parts of the region on Saturday, crossing county lines was like entering different worlds.
Some beaches in Orange and Ventura counties were open, even though scores of Southern Californians were dying of COVID-19 every day.
Huntington Beach elected to keep its coastline open, though the pier, beach parking lots and some metered parking remain closed. “When you take a look at the folks that are coming down, they’re not only not adhering to safer-at-home policies in their own communities — they’re not even staying in their own counties,” she said earlier this week.
On Saturday, as L.A. County reported 48 new deaths and 607 additional cases of COVID-19, Ferrer renewed her call for people to stay home.Of the new deaths, 37 victims were older than 65, and nine were between 41 and 65. Thirty-eight had underlying health conditions. “Public pools and all beaches remain closed for your well-being and the health of those most vulnerable for serious illness and death from COVID-19,” Ferrer said in a statement. “Continue to do your part and save lives. This is how we get to the other side of the outbreak and begin our recovery.”
