The Memorial Day Weekend saw a Low Turn-out this year Amid the Pandemic

The Memorial Day weekend which is loved by Americans to the core of their hearts, and is a day to which all the Americans look forward to being a federal holiday and a day for honoring all the military soldiers who died for the nation serving the good and protecting the citizens.  It comes every year and the weekend before that day is a Memorial Day weekend on which the Americans spend their day with their families. 

Mostly on this day the people gather at the beach, restaurants, parks, and clubs and enjoy the day to the fullest but this time the number of people were less as many of them did not get out because of the increasing spread of Coronavirus especially in the country, which have over thousands of people died because of this.

But still, there were people who were seen on the beaches. The instructions were given to them to stay 10 feet apart, says sources from Florida. Even though masks were asked to be worn but it isn’t any fun as wearing masks and going to the beach won’t make any sense. 

The authorities made sure to issue some social distancing rules and certain limits. Rains this weekend kept most of the people of the country inside but those who lived near the beaches couldn’t resist. 

Some of the doctors said that it’s okay for people to go out but with proper measures. The people can’t be locked inside their houses anymore, but all they can do is follow the rules of social distancing and be careful to not interact with much of the audience. This year the memorial weekend was the strangest one as people were seen but not in large numbers, and those who were seen were seen distant but let’s see how it goes forward.
