HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Protesters across Southern California have demonstrated a growing weariness with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s restrictive measures, as the state grapples to balance reopening with safety.

Recent protests indicate that a growing number of citizens believe that the damage caused by Newsom’s restrictions to commerce has become worse than the problems that might arise due to the continuing spread of COVID-19, if measures were to be relaxed.
