The mayor of Bullhead City has closed city beaches and boat launches on weekends to slow the spread of COVID-19, the Bee reported.
The weekend closings are effective through Labor Day, the mayor said.
“Until recently, the information we received locally was that we were prepared and our number of confirmed cases was low,” Mayor Tom Brady said in a statement. “Now we are being told that hospitals elsewhere in Arizona are being overrun and that they are transferring them to rural hospitals that still have capacity. That hasn’t happened yet in Bullhead City, but our number of positive cases is spiking and our hospital admissions are climbing enough that it is time to take further actions.”
The parks at the beaches and boat launches will also be closed on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays but open the rest of the week, the story said.
The city will install gates and fencing to block access to the beaches and boat launch, the story said.
