La Paz Beaches in Mexico's Baja California Sur Reopen

The capital city of Baja California Sur, La Paz, is now reopening its beaches and boardwalks as part of a phased reopening strategy that requires social distancing and masks.

Regulations include 30 percent of the beaches’ capacities to minimize contact. In two weeks time, this capacity could rise to be 40 percent, should conditions improve. The beaches’ entrances are supervised to check for masks and to limit the amount of people who use the beach daily.
