SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Seminole County will close all of its boat ramps Saturday night after several boaters were discovered holding “large parties on the river violating all CDC guidelines” in connection to the coronavirus.
The county tweeted that the ramps are closing “due to irresponsible boaters.” It’s not known when the ramps will reopen. A photo included in the tweet showed about 20 people in close proximity next to several boats.
