In a tweet, the Jacksonville City Crisis Management Agency on Saturday called on citizens to be two meters away from other people when visiting the beach. “This can be the beginning of the way back to normal life,” Mayor Lenny Curry said on Friday after a message and appealed to people to abide by the restrictions in force. For example, barbecues, chairs and blankets are not allowed on the beach. There are also limited opening hours in the morning and early evening.
Fox News reported that hundreds of people were using their regained freedom after Friday afternoon’s announcement and showed pictures of the hustle and bustle on the water.
In the south of the state, which is more affected by the coronavirus, beaches remained closed. According to the Johns Hopkins University, more than 24 700 infections with the pathogen Sars-CoV-2 have been detected in Florida. (dpa)
