If that means anything anywhere every day saturday. But where there are things that are often on limit says were navigating through coronavirus covers will tran is here to answer whats open high will. In morning daria there are things you can do and things you cant do 2019 memorial day weekend everything was on the table but what a difference a year makes im at Rockaway Beach in pacifica the parking lot. Well you can clearly see it is empty and they want to keep it empty, lets get to the things you can and cannot do so take a look at your screen we built some graphics for you well let you know that you can still go to the beaches if thats what you want to do, but theyre not allow you. The park in the parking lot so that means you to ride your bike you walk you run to the beaches and in marine county, you can even go to the beaches and parks because they shut that down but in san mateo county. That is still possibly an option a lot of people they had to the parks right you can do that so long as the park that you want to visit is within 10 miles of your home you can still go fishing. The call ahead some of your favorite fish in places might be close. During this time if you go hiking and a lot of people like to hike with friends. You can do that but make sure it is a trail that is open to the public. And when you do go with your friends make sure that you practice social distance wear a mask and then stay 6 feet apart from each other theres something really interesting. You are being discouraged to have backyard barbecues reason being its not a legal right, but you can do that, but theyre discouraging it because backyard barbecues tend to have a lot of people you grab the same plate you share food. Kind of hard to eat obviously with a mask on so its just being discouraged from doing that if you possibly can as far as some of the other locations were in county. It wont be able to go to the parks as well and weve talked about it for a long time the parking lots have also been shut down in marine county, so theyre making it very difficult for people to go to those locations as were still dealing with the pandemic and in San Francisco dolores park a lot of people have just flock to that area, they know its a hot spot and they know people will show up and thats why they went out there over the past several days or so and actually painted circles on the lawn just to tell people this is how far apart you need to stay from each other. But its not all doom and gloom. Doctor Anthony Fauci says you go out there enjoy memorial day weekend to try to do it smartly. Go out wear a mask. Stay 6 feet away from anyone to see you have the physical distancing and go out go for a run go for a walk go fishing as long as youre not in a crowd. And youre not in a situation we can physically transmit the virus and thats what im asking is for and thats what the physical distance. Ok so im at a beach alot of people who might be thinking about going to the beaches and it should be decent weather over the weekend dont bring a blanket because theyre discouraging people from placing a blanket down on the sand in lane there its really just keep it moving along policy so lots going on for memorial day weekend. We posted everything you need to know on kron 4 dot com. Dont drive year though because the neighborhoods obviously are discouraging people from parking at those locations and in pacifica they have those chains across anyway, so you can even park or pull in to the parking lot, not 2019 daria you know that full well i have one suggestion and on the couch. Netflix. Some real yeah, all right. Thanks a lot. Yeah, yeah. Even the things that are open its again one of those things where you got to be a walk there is no parking so exactly so maybe just hanging around the house as you have been doing for weeks now is probably the best but this coming weekend.
