Health experts say that going to the beach should be fine, as long as the public adheres to social distancing measures.

"These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. Spread is more likely when people are in close contact with one another ," the CDC stated on its website.

"Beaches are relatively safe because they are outdoors and people can spread out in the open space. The main issue with this disease is when people crowd together and if they touch common surfaces such as chairs or tables," Adalja said, adding that since the coronavirus is not a water-borne pathogen that the ocean water is not a concern.
