HUNDREDS of flag-waving protesters have gathered at Huntington Beach in California to protest against the coronavirus.
Up to 700 people swarmed the famous Southern California beach, backing up traffic for at least a mile along Pacific Coast Highway, despite the Covid-19 death toll passing 65,000.
The protest comes after California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered all beaches in Orange County to close temporarily after thousands gathered at Huntington Beach and nearby Newport Beach last weekend.
The state is now in its seventh week under coronavirus lockdown, with only businesses deemed essential allowed to operate.
