Dear Friend --

I know it's a beautiful weekend, with the warm sun shining down on us. I know we're all tired of being inside. But I need to ask all of you to please continue staying home. You are saving lives. The beaches and parks remain closed, including the beach pedestrian and bike paths, and we will be enforcing that as needed.

This very difficult sacrifice really does appear to be working and protecting our community. I'm personally asking—please help keep the most vulnerable in our community healthy and support our frontline workers by staying home.

And be hopeful in the days ahead we will have some announcements about how we begin reopening our public spaces and businesses.

If you have to go out to shop, for a medical appointment, or for a walk, please wear a face covering and stay a safe distance from others.

I really appreciate your help.
