An appropriate reminder to the Association of Chiefs of Police in the region was sent out in advance to state guards. Already on April 30, caretakers of parks and beaches will begin to close locations.

The governor made the appropriate decision after many people violated the quarantine order on the weekend. In the parks and on the beaches of Southern California, there was a large concentration of people and there was no talk of any respect for the distance.

Earlier, Newsom had already reported that an excessive number of people were recorded on 100 state beaches. In particular, in the cities of Orange and Ventura, people came here en masse to escape from the heat.

According to officials, more than 90 thousand people visited Newport Beach in Orange alone over the weekend, who neglected calls from the authorities to stay at home during quarantine. Despite this, on April 28, the city council voted to keep the beaches open, but with the requirement of complying with the distance between vacationers.

Orange Mayor Don Wagner opposed the governor's harsh decision and said that Newsom has the power to close all the state's beaches, but this decision is "not a wise one."

“Health professionals constantly tell us the importance of fresh air and sunlight in fighting infectious diseases, including their benefits for mental health,” Wagner said. “Moreover, the people of Orange have previously cooperated with the State of California and the County. But I fear that this state overreaction will undermine our collective position and overall efforts to combat this disease, which were based on current medical information.”

While local officials said beachgoers were observing social distancing, Newsom said the more violations, the longer the ban would last.

“The virus doesn’t take days off. The virus does not go home. We have to regulate our behavior,” Newsom said. “People who don’t social distance are setting us back.”

Earlier, on April 28, the governor's office announced a plan for quitting quarantine. But Newsom noted that now the situation is at the first stage, and it will be weeks before schools, shops and enterprises open.
