From the Humboldt County Joint Information Center:

The County of Humboldt has been monitoring local parks and beach access areas for compliance with the Shelter-In-Place Order. At this time, county staff have found a lack of social distancing along Scenic Drive in Trinidad and on the beach accesses from this road.

The county is taking this opportunity to remind the public that social distancing is critical to containing the COVID-19 outbreak. If social distancing guidelines continue to be ignored, Scenic Drive will be closed to all but local traffic.

Residents should also follow social distancing guidelines during the holidays. Health officials advise us to observe this weekend’s holidays and celebrations within our own homes. It’s the best way to keep ourselves, our families and our community safe from possible infection.

For more information about social distancing and other protective measures, please visit humboldtgov.org, phone 707-441-5000 or email covidinfo@co.humboldt.ca.us.
