- Photos taken over the weekend show crowds on California's Newport and Huntington Beaches.
This is amid a heatwave and a statewide stay-at-home order, reports Business Insider.
Officials have said that those going to the beach are still putting distance amongst themselves.
However, residents in Southern California said the crowds were sizable this past weekend.
Gov. Newsom says people dismissing the order restrictions could delay reopening plans for the state.
A common thought amongst those leaving their houses is that they will stay away from sick people.
This does not account for asymptomatic people, those without signs of coronavirus who still spread it.

- The owner of the Ruth's Chris Steak House has said it will repay $20 million in federal loans.
This is only after facing backlash for its access to the money, reports Busines Insider.
The aid the major steakhouse chain received was meant to aid small businesses.
It's possible that Ruth's needed the funding, as restaurants face declining revenues.
But the company has also enjoyed several years of profits.
Last year, Ruth's earned a profit of $42 million on revenue of $468 million.

- Mass coronavirus testing jis expanding in prisons. Large numbers of inmates are testing positive, yet showing no symptoms.
In state prison systems in Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia, 96% of 3,277 inmates who tested positive for the coronavirus were asymptomatic.
It suggests that people who are asymptomatic — contagious but not physically sick — may be driving the spread of the virus worldwide.
It also raises the question of whether testing of just people suspected of being infected is actually capturing the spread of the virus.
However, Reuters reports some people diagnosed as asymptomatic when tested for the coronavirus may go on to develop symptoms later.

According to Business Insider, the study tested 3,000 New York residents at grocery and big-box stores.

- The British government is under fire for its response to the novel coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Reuters, the UK could hit the grim milestone of 20,000 COVID-19 deaths later on Saturday.
That's when the daily count is added to the current toll of 19,506 people who tested positive for the new coronavirus and died in hospital.
Britain was slower to impose a lockdown than other European countries, and is struggling to increase its testing rate.
In mid-March, the government’s chief scientific adviser said that keeping the death toll below 20,000 would be a “good outcome”.

- The World Health Organization warned governments Saturday against issuing 'immunity passports.'
Also known as 'risk-free certificates,' they're meant to assure others the bearer has recovered from COVID-19.
The WHO said that there was currently “no evidence” that recovered patients have antibodies and are protected from a second coronavirus infection.
According to Reuters, the WHO says the practice could actually increase the risks of continued spread of the novel coronavirus.
That's because people who have recovered may ignore advice about taking standard precautions against the virus.

“I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you just to see what would happen."
Alarmed medical professionals worldwide took to social media to urge against Trump's statement.
Using disinfectant inside people’s bodies to fight the coronavirus would be deadly.

Though supply chains should be stabilized by summer, experts say some shortages could persist.
The length of extended shortage by experts was throughout the next year and a half.
Until a COVID-19 vaccine can prevent widespread transmission, supply chains will suffer.
The shortage will particularly affect factory and farm workers, according to Business Insider.
Experts are confident that the US food supply is robust and emphasized that there is no need to panic.
However, some consumers may experience more inconvenience when they shop.
