Following weekend scenes of crowds enjoying outdoor recreation across California — and avoiding social distancing — Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered the immediate closure of parking lots at many of the state’s most popular parks and beaches in the latest restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of coronavirus.

Barred from restaurants, bars, movie theaters and sporting events, Californians in recent days had headed outdoors in what some called record numbers. Now, in many places, that becomes much more difficult: The parking lot closures will affect state parks in Marin, San Mateo, Sonoma, San Diego and Los Angeles counties, according to the state park website.
