LATEST, April 30, 7:10 p.m. The five public golf courses operated by the city and county of San Francisco will open "sometime next week" after resolving issues with state officials, according the Recreation and Park Department.

Officials in the six-county consortium in the Bay Area —Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara — have said golf courses can open May 4 under social-distancing restrictions.

The five public courses in San Francisco — Sharp Park, Harding Park, Lincoln Park, Gleneagles and Golden Gate — were the last to get the go-ahead as city and county health officials used a stricter interpretation of the state's shelter-in-place rules than did other Bay Area county health departments, according to The Chronicle.

April 30, 2:40 p.m. In a press conference Thursday, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is investigating the origins of the coronavirus, including “exactly where it came from, who it came from, how it happened, separately and also scientifically.”

Trump then answered a question asking if he had a “high degree of confidence” that the virus might have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, as he suggested earlier this month.

“Yes I have,” he said, “and I think the World Health Organization should be ashamed of itself. They’re like the public relations agency for China.”

He also added that he would not say why the U.S. is investigating the Institute as a possible point of origin.

Trump then doubled down on comments made regarding making COVID relief funding available only if some U.S. sanctuary cities modify their policies.

“I have the right to do that,” he said. “Sanctuary cities especially at a time like this is a very dangerous thing. We want sanctuary, but we want sanctuary for our citizens. We don’t want sanctuary for criminals who came into our country illegally and … they have big records and the crimes are the ultimate in evil in many cases.”

April 30, 12:20 p.m. Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal announced his "firm opposition" to Governor Gavin Newsom's reported order to close beaches and state parks across the state.

"As Sheriff, I am the protector of constitutional rights in Humboldt County,” he said in a Thursday tweet. "And if an order is issued that I believe violates our constitutional rights, I will not enforce it.”

Honsal did not specify which constitutional right he believed was being violated by the order, but Governor Newsom clarified later Thursday beaches and state parks will be closed in Orange County only. The county's beaches drew large crowds over the weekend.

Early studies regarding outdoors transmission do not appear to support the governor's order.

Since the start of the outbreak, 432 pop-up childcare centers have opened around the state for essential workers, such a healthcare and grocery workers.
