On Monday, President Trump and the White House Coronavirus Task Force issued new guidelines to help protect Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. These included avoiding social gatherings of more than 10 people. Later in the day, numerous state and local agencies, public libraries, private businesses, etc., announced closures of facilities where groups meet. That resulted in yet more cancellations and postponements of fly fishing and kayak fishing events.
