A southwest Florida city closed its beaches Sunday, a week after they were reopened, because visitors were not following social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of COVID-19, according to city officials.

The beaches of Naples, located in Collier County, were reportedly crowded on Saturday. As a result, the City of Naples announced that it would be shutting its beaches down.
