Hundreds crowd newly reopened Florida beaches even as the state sees a spike in coronavirus infections

Minutes after beaches in North Florida were reopened by the governor at 5 p.m. on Friday, hundreds of locals flooded the sand.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday announced that some beaches and parks in his state could reopen less than three weeks into his statewide stay-home order.
DeSantis urged residents to limit their beach activity to exercise and to avoid gathering or coming with 6 feet of others.
But many beachgoers in Jacksonville didn't appear to be following the government's social distancing guidelines as they sunbathed and gathered with friends on Friday evening.
