The benches on the Long Beach Boardwalk have been fenced off to ensure that people aren’t sitting too close to each other. This is another new rule in place with the boardwalk reopening.
This memorial was created after September 11th on a frequently used bike path in town. The memorial now has social distancing instructions and warnings about the Coronavirus. The signs on this specific memorial are symbolic in a way. The coronavirus has far exceeded the attacks on September 11th in both lives lost, and economic repercussions, if not in concussive immediate effects. Both will suggest a rocky start to the century.
The beaches are creepily empty on the first summer holiday as a result of the pandemic and new laws that were passed. Currently, only residents of Long Beach are allowed on the beaches. This keeps people from New York City and other areas from flocking to these beaches which has prevented another overwhelming spread of Covid-19.

The large American flag at Lido West is held at half mast out of respect for the lives lost during this pandemic. Nassau county has recorded 39,487 confirmed cases of Covid-19, and 2,073 deaths. The local community has suffered immensely.
The Long Beach police department placed many signs around town reminding people maintain social distancing to protect public health.
Homemade signs have been hung up all over the town. This sign was placed just outside of the local supermarket to remind those working on the front lines that we all appreciate them. Although they don’t deal with the same threats as those in the healthcare system, essential workers are still acknowledged as heroes for keeping facilities such as supermarkets, gas stations, and even restaurants open and available during these hard times.
New bright signs have been installed to stress the importance of practicing social distancing, especially on the beach, to stop the spread of Covid-19. These signs are located at Lido west, and give clear examples of how far you must stay from others to ensure public safety.
A local playground and basketball court a few blocks from my house was closed as a result of the Coronavirus. This is happening in public parks all over Long Beach in an effort to limit areas where large gatherings of people can occur.
