Pool noodle barriers created social distance at the beach during pandemic SIESTA KEY, Fla. - The beach forecast is perfect, but lifeguards are being reminded to wash their hands -- a reminder the forecast for COVID-19 is concerning. "I just stay farther away from people whenever I find my spot," said tourist Austin Pierce.
He and his friend, Justin Jones are visiting from Tennessee. They're glad to have a sense that life remains mostly normal, with a few changes.
Kimberly Kuizon reports "I see people digging circles around them, not trying to be rude to anybody, but we have to do this to protect ourselves.
We are trying to do everything we can," said Jones and Pierce. In South Florida, beaches have closed in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.
