Three beaches to be closed

Mayor Tom Tate has just announced that as of midnight Tuesday, the Spit, Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta beach will be closed.

"The beaches are proving to be magnets for day visitors from Brisbane," he said.

"The balance of beaches will remain open for our residents so they can continue to exercise.

"However, we will monitor that situation and if we see groups starting to gather at those beaches, we will have to close those as well.

"We are working through the finer details now including having parking officers redeployed to The Spit to monitor illegal parking up there

"We didn’t want to get to this, but the weekend showed me that a small number of people aren’t listening."

 

Coolangatta Beach will be closed from Greenmount Point to the Coolangatta Groyne

Surfers Paradise will be closed from Clifford St Tower 33 to South Narrowneck Tower 37 adjacent to Higman St.

The Spit from Tower 42 Adjacent to Seaworld to the Rock Wall adjacent to Tower 46

Rare syndrome tied to COVID-19 kills three children in New York, Cuomo says

By Nathan Layne (Reuters) - Three children in New York have died from a rare inflammatory syndrome believed to be linked to the novel coronavirus, Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday, a development that may augur a pandemic risk for children. Cuomo had on Friday disclosed the death of a 5-year old linked to the coronavirus and a syndrome that shares symptoms with toxic shock and Kawasaki disease, which was the first known fatality tied to the rare illness in New York. The governor told a daily briefing on Saturday that the illness had now taken the lives of at least three young people across the state
