Florida beaches were seen packed with people shortly after President Donald Trump urged Americans to stay at home and social distance in order to prevent the spreading of coronavirus.
As seen in photos taken at the Clearwater Beach, visitors have ignored official warnings as they took to the sands to sunbathe.
Even though major beaches were shut down amid the outbreak in the country, thousands of people still chose to ignore the orders.
Hundreds of spring break partygoers were also seen in different parts of Miami’s South Beach where they continued to celebrate despite police officers’ orders to leave.
While some parts of the white beach were blocked by the police, the beachgoers have allegedly moved to other areas to continue their parties.
The news follows shortly after Donald Trump has tested negative for the novel coronavirus according to the official statement of the president’s physician.
As Trump’s physician, Sean P. Conley, announced in a statement submitted to the White House press secretary, the president has undergone COVID-19 testing whereas the test came back as negative.
The POTUS took the test shortly after coming in touch with several people, including members of the Brazilian delegation, who tested positive for the killer virus.
“I release the following information with the permission of President Trump,” the statement read.
“Last night after an in-depth discussion with the President regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed. This evening, I received confirmation that the test is negative.
“One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation in Mar-a-Lago, the president remains symptom-free. I have been in daily contact with the CDC and the White House coronavirus task force, and we are encouraging the implementation of all their best practices for exposure reduction and transmission mitigation.”
Meanwhile, the White House began checking the body temperature of journalists and staff whereas one reporter with fever was denied entry.
“Out of an abundance of caution, temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the president and vice president,” the White House announced.
