County officials braced for a holiday weekend that could again challenge residents' resolve to adhere to stay-at-home restrictions that bar large gatherings and require face coverings and social distancing when residents interact with others.

Santa Monica was seeing a noticeable reduction in the usual holiday crowds early Saturday, according to a sergeant with the city's police department.

"It's been so far, so good, right now," Sgt. Chad Goodwin told City News Service shortly after noon Saturday. "And I would say there is significantly less (at the beaches) than your typical Memorial Day holiday.

Beachgoers, Goodwin said, have been following the social distancing rules laid out by county, and the same appeared true for beaches in the Los Angeles Police Department's jurisdiction, said Officer Rosario Cervantes of the LAPD Media Relations Section.

"We're advising people to wear face coverings and practice social distancing," said Cervantes, adding that arrests "will be taken only as a last resort."

The locations with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus cases around Los Angeles County, as of Saturday, are:
