THE STATEWIDE LOCKDOWN
FACING A MAJOR TEST THIS
WEEKEND AS THE VALLEY HEATS UP
AND PEOPLE LOOK TO GET OUTSIDE.
WE HAVE SEEN BOATERS HITTING
THE WATER AT SAND COVE PARK
ENJOYING THIS WARM DAY AND THE
NICE WEATHER IS TEMPTING PEOPLE
TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES AS SOME
COUNTIES CONSIDER LOOSENING THE
HOLD.
AND GOOD AFTERNOON.
WE'RE LIVE AT DISCOVERY PARK
WHERE THE CROWD PICKED UP.
PEOPLE WANTING TO GET OUT OF
THE HOUSE DESPITE THE GOVERNOR
ASKING EVERYONE TO STAY IN.
HEATHER?
Reporter: MARLY, THERE IS
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL WEATHER
OUT, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WANTING TO GET
OUTSIDE.
YOU TAKE A LOOK HERE AT
DISCOVERY PARK.
YOU CAN SEE BOATERS, PEOPLE
ALONGSIDE THE BEACH HERE.
AND WHEN WE SPOKE WITH RANGERS
YESTERDAY ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD
BE ENFORCING THIS, THEY TOLD US
THAT THEY WOULD BE TAKING AN
EDUCATIONAL APPROACH RATHER
THAN THE ENFORCEMENT APPROACH,
LETTING PEOPLE KNOW HOW AND WHY
THEY SHOULDN'T BE OUTSIDE IN
SOME OF THESE CROWDED AREAS
ASKING THEM NOT TO TIE BOATS
TOGETHER IF THEY WERE GOING TO
HIT THE WATER OR GO OUT WITH
OTHER PEOPLE WHO AREN'T IN
THEIR HOUSEHOLD.
BUT HOW WELL ARE SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE LISTENING?
MUSIC COULD BE HEARD FROM THE
SANDS OF DISCOVERY PARK AS
BOATERS HIT THE WATER AND
PEOPLE LIKE ALICIA MOORE SOAK
UP THE SUNSHINE ALONGSIDE IT.
AND IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
PERSONALLY.
Reporter: DOING ALL SHE CAN
TO GET OUTSIDE SAFELY, TELLING
US SHE IS OUT WITH ONLY HER
HOUSEHOLD AND TAKING EXTRA
PRECAUTIONS.
AND WE PARKED REALLY FAR.
WE WALKED.
WE DON'T WANT TO BE TOO CLOSE
TO ANY OTHER CARS.
Reporter: MANY OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE THE SAME IDEA, THE AREA
FILLED WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO
CATCH SOME OF THOSE PRESUMMER
RAYS.
OUT AT MCKINLEY PARK, A FEW
PEOPLE OUTSIDE, TOO, BUT ALL
SEEMINGLY STAYING FAR FROM ONE
ANOTHER.
PEOPLE LIKE CHRISTINE RICH
HAPPY TO SEE THE OUTSIDE
POPULATION GROWING STAYING
HEALTHY PEOPLE SHOULD BE
ALLOWED OUT.
IT IS NICE TO SEE THE
ACTIVITY.
PEOPLE AREN'T BEING AFRAID AND
SHUT UP IN THEIR HOUSES
ANYMORE.
Reporter: MEANWHILE, WHEN IT
COMES TO RESPECTING OTHERS AND
THEIR PERSONAL SPACE AN SOCIAL
DISTANCING, ALICIA SAYS SOME
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN A LITTLE BIT
TOO CLOSE.
NOW IT IS GETTING A LITTLE
CRAZY, I'M NOT GOING TO LIE.
THERE ARE A LOT MORE PEOPLE
THAN WE EXPECTED, SO I THINK
WE'RE ALL GIVING EACH OTHER THE
EYE LIKE BACK UP HERE.
A LITTLE TOO CLOSE.
Reporter: AS FOR THE MESSAGE
FROM THE STATE, GOVERNOR NEWSOM
HAS BEEN VERY, VERY
COMMUNICATIVE IN HIS PRESS
CONFERENCES OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS WITH THIS
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER URGING PEOPLE
TO STAY INSIDE EVEN THOUGH IT
HAS BEEN GETTING SO NICE.
HE IS JUST REMINDING PEOPLE TO
ENJOY THE OUTDOORS BY WALKING
