Health officials discouraging people from visiting National Parks

Health officials are discouraging people from visiting parks.

A photo surfaced online from Zion National Park's Twitter page showcasing people hiking in a group larger than ten people amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

A coalition of retired National Parks Service workers are saying it's irresponsible for the park to allow large gatherings of people during a state of emergency.

Zion National Park officials are suspending the shuttle service and limiting entry to the park to slow the spread of COVID-19.
