Redondo Beach will close some public places due to the virus. Here’s a list

Redondo Beach announced Thursday that the city would join several other municipalities in shutting down access to public places in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Effective at midnight Friday, Redondo Beach will close:

It is part of a growing list of closures along Southern California’s coast.

The Santa Monica Pier is closed, as are the nearby beach parking lots. Earlier this week, Orange County closed county-owned parking lots at all trails, parks and beaches under OC Parks jurisdiction.

Hermosa Beach city officials announced Wednesday that the city’s beach, the Strand and its downtown parking structure would close Saturday morning.

The closures came after throngs of people flocked to the beaches over the weekend, desperate to escape their homes and find a reminder of what normal life looks like.

There have been 20 confirmed cases of coronavirus in Redondo Beach.
