New York opens the beaches with its sights set on the 4th of July

The Beaches from the city of NY will be open to the public for the bath before the Independence Day -the next July 4th-, following a partial reopening for Memorial Day celebrations last month, as tweeted by the city’s mayor, Bill de Blasio, late on Tuesday.

The mayor confirmed media reports that the city’s beaches will officially open next week.

“The rumors are true: New York City beaches will open for bathing on July 1,” said de Blasio, reiterating that people should stick with distancing measures social and face covering at the beach to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, which has already killed more than 121,000 people and affected 2.36 million people in the US as of Tuesday.

Security measures

The mayor of the city has reminded that they will have to apply distancing and cover their face

Beaches in some states were partially reopened for the Memorial Day weekend of May 23-25, with various restrictions, including a ban on swimming on New York City beaches. . The city has registered a total of 217,742 cases of coronavirus until yesterday, and 22,343 dead.

The decision to open the beaches before Independence Day weekend comes amid concern over outbreaks of the virus in some states and social tension over protests following the death of a black man, George Floyd, in Minneapolis on May 25, after a white cop knelt on his neck.
