According to the Palm Beach Post, The Palm Beach Police Department has responded to more than 130 violations of town ordinance warnings since special measures were taken by officials to contain the spread of the coronavirus in town.

Police Chief Nicholas Caristo said it’s difficult to tally all the cases, but in all, the department has responded to 27 trespass violations in addition to five trespassing arrests. There also have been 36 complaints of “inappropriate social distancing.”

“The police department has no higher purpose than the safety of our residents,” Caristo said. “The Town of Palm Beach has a population that is particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. We have already lost two residents to this disease.”

Everyone understands that social distancing and self-quarantine can be difficult. But we all need to take personal responsibility for our actions and work as hard as we can to stick to the CDC guidelines. That means no unnecessary physical interactions! You do not have to socially isolate yourself, but you do need to physically isolate yourself. What that means is you can still call, Skype, Zoom, and text your friends and family, you just must try to avoid interacting in-person.
