California Governor Gavin Newsom Beaches ordered beaches in Orange County, where crowds defied coronavirus guidelines last weekend, to be shut down
The move came after Newsom complained that beachgoers could hasten the spread of the coronavirus in California, delaying the state’s ability to ease public health restrictions even as millions of people in the most-populous U.S. state obey the stay-at-home rules imposed in March.
The reports were based on a memo that supposedly had been sent from the governor’s office to local police chiefs, but Newsom said he had not sent or seen such a document.
