The beaches have proved a battleground between frustrated residents and a governor eager to stop coronavirus's spread.
The coronavirus epidemic caused the beaches of Los Angeles County to be closed since March 27, but Dr. Barbara Ferrer, Director of the County Department of Public Health, announced on Friday that L.A. county beaches could reopen by May 15 if county residents wear facial coverings and stay six feet apart from each other when the county's hiking trails reopen this weekend.
"If things go well, next week we'd like to come back with some additional lifting of restrictions. We're looking forward to hopefully getting there by next week," she said. "There is a direct correlation between what you do this weekend and how long this will take and how many lives we will lose," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told residents on April 24.
"Millions of Californians answered the call to stay home and thanks to them, we are in a position to begin moving into our next stage of modifying our stay at home order," Newsom said."But make no mistake—this virus isn't gone. It's still dangerous and poses a significant public health risk."beachgoers ignored social distancing rules
