NEWPORT BEACH (CNS)—Despite indications he might close the coastline statewide, Gov. Gavin Newsom on April 30 instead ordered a temporary “hard close” only of beaches in Orange County, where crowds gathered on the sand during last weekend’s heat wave amid social-distancing mandates due to the CCP virus.
“We’re guided by health. We’re guided by your health and the health of others,” Newsom said in announcing the closure.
