New coronavirus cases skyrocket on Fourth of July weekend

The lockdowns for this holiday weekend follow a surge in cases and reopenings post-Memorial Day. .

"The science is clear: wear a mask, practice social distancing, and in general, outdoors is safer than indoors because outdoors there's improved ventilation," said CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr.

For businesses like Abuelitas Taqueria in Gavelston, it won't be the money-making weekend it usually is, and owner Sara Asocar is fine with that.

"Well the beaches being closed, they shoulda never got open — no offense to the outsiders or tourists," Asocar said.

Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas are among the cities that have canceled fireworks.
