NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (CNS)—Gov. Gavin Newsom on April 27 lashed out at crowds who flocked to some Orange County beaches over the hot weekend—most notably Newport Beach—saying ignorance of social-distancing mandates is dangerous and could delay the state’s ability to reopen businesses and ease health orders.

“Those images are an example of what not to see ... what not to do, if we’re going to make the meaningful progress that we’ve made in the last few weeks extend into the next number of weeks,” Newsom said.
