bournemouth Bournemouth beach: 'Major incident' as thousands flock to coast Sun-seekers have been urged to stay away from a beach as thousands flocked to the Dorset coast and a major incident was declared in Bournemouth. Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole Council said Bournemouth Beach was "stretched to the absolute hilt" on the second day of a UK heatwave. Dorset Police said there were reports of gridlocked roads, fights and overnight camping. People were urged to "act responsibly" as temperatures hit the mid-20s. Traffic built up early on coast-bound roads - including Durdle Door - and people travelled to Bournemouth from as far as Birmingham. By Thursday evening the Sandbanks peninsula was "heavily congested", the council said, repeating its warning for people to "please stay away". The ferry service in Sandbanks tweeted: "Again we're struggling to get traffic off the ferry at Poole, for now we hope to carry half loads of vehicles from Studland, but depends on the gridlock in Sandbanks tonight." A local resident took a photo of the lengthy queue for the Mudeford ferry as beach-goers left for the day. florida Florida records 5,004 more infections amid surge — the second-highest jump in daily coronavirus cases New Florida cases totaled 5,004, down from Wednesday’s record-breaking number of 5,511 but continuing the surge in cases that has prevailed for the past two weeks.

NY Coronavirus: New York imposes quarantine on eight US states New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have asked people travelling from states where Covid-19 cases are rising to go into self-isolation for 14 days. New Jersey's Phil Murphy said people in the three states had been "through hell and back" and did not want "another round" of virus infections. Some southern and western states have been reporting record numbers of cases. The University of Washington predicts 180,000 US deaths by October - or 146,000 if 95% of Americans wear masks. So far, the US has recorded more than 2.3 million cases of the virus and more than 121,000 deaths. Health officials say the coming weeks will be crucial to stem the outbreaks.

USA U.S. hits highest single day of new coronavirus cases with more than 45,500, breaking April record The grim milestone reported Wednesday surpasses the peak hit in late April. US The coronavirus surge is real, and it's everywhere The big picture: The U.S. today is getting closer to the worst-case scenario envisioned in the spring — a nationwide crisis, made worse by a vacuum of political leadership, threatening to overwhelm hospitals and spread out of control. Nationwide, cases are up 30% compared to the beginning of this month, and dramatically worsening outbreaks in several states are beginning to strain hospital capacity — the same concern that prompted the nationwide lockdown in the first place. This is the grimmest map in the eight weeks since Axios began tracking the change in new cases in every state. By the numbers: Over half the country — 26 states — have seen their coronavirus caseloads increase over the past week. New cases are up 77% in Arizona, 75% in Michigan, 70% in Texas and 66% in Florida. California, which has seen steady increases for weeks, recorded a 47% jump in new infections over the past week. These steep increases come after weeks of steadily climbing cases or back-and-forth results across the South, Midwest and West Coast. Only the New York region and parts of New England — the earliest hotspots — have consistently managed to get their caseloads down throughout May and June.
