This is not social distancing.
There were some guidelines in place for the counties including no parking lots open in order to limit crowds. Authorities reported few citations and good behavior, but the photos tell another story.California governor Gavin Newsome expressed dismay at the behavior of California residents who apparently decided the virus wasn’t an issue if they had swimming and sunbathing to do.
“I cannot impress upon you more, to those Californians watching, that we can’t see the images like we saw, particularly on Saturday in Newport Beach and elsewhere, in the state of California,” he said. Newsom is being clear in his comments that he would consider stricter enforcement of current guidelines if people are out there doing whatever they please despite the state’s stay-at-home order.
