California Gov. Gavin Newsom will be closing all beaches and state parks across the state starting Friday to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, according to a memo sent to California police chiefs Wednesday.
The decision comes less than a week after Newsom called out the massive crowds that flocked to Newport Beach in Orange County last weekend during a heatwave. He called the beach crowds an example of "what not to do" for the state to make progress toward easing restrictions in the statewide stay-at-home order.
Many beaches across the state have been closed, but some, such as in Ventura and Orange counties, were open and started to get more visitors as the weather got warmer. Click here for more.
