Officials warn of COVID-19 risks as Labor Day weekend gets underway

There are new warnings about the coronavirus this holiday weekend and the continued need for social distancing and the wearing of masks.

President Donald Trump and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country's top infectious disease expert, are encouraging Americans to be careful and use common sense with any of their social gatherings. And coast to coast, governors are warning people about the risks of not staying safe.

Health officials are concerned about a replay of what happened after the Fourth of July, when there was a 22% spike in the average number of new U.S. cases reported three weeks after that weekend, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

On Friday, as Labor Day weekend was getting underway, there were signs on some beaches that social distancing might also take a holiday this weekend, Michael George reported for "CBS This Morning: Saturday."

1. The traffic in my town on Friday seemed worse...

... than pre-Christmas.

So many people who, unlike me, were probably going to socialize somewhere.

2. And the COVIDIOTS who were out there partying on July 4 will be out this weekend,

if Covid hasn't already claimed them. Until there is a coherent nationwide response to this pandemic, we can expect the death toll to keep rising.
