Yosemite National Park will require advanced reservations for day visitors during the peak summer season to limit the number of visitors and allow social distancing in the nearly 1,200-square-mile federal preserve amid the pandemic.
Under the new rules, advance reservations will be required for day-use visitors who enter Yosemite from May 21 to September 30, the San Jose Mercury News reported. The park's superintendent, Cicely Muldoon, said large crowds already have been coming to the park in recent weeks, and there are still cases of COVID-19 spreading in California as well as other states and countries from where visitors are coming.Keri Russell, literally acting as U.S. ambassador, was deftly balancing yet another diplomatic crisis, in a rented manor, with prop champagne. And the plot, while plausible, was scripted. Asked whether it was over-glamourized, Russell replied, "The diplomatic world? Well, yeah, it's TV! You've got to over-glamorize it! Everything takes so long!"
