He advised the com- munity to take all prop- er precautions to help curtail the spread of the virus and to protect themselves from expo- sure, including social distancing and sanita- tion efforts.

Empty shelves at local supermarkets have been a common sight lately as droves of people have been making mad dashes to stockpile for possible mandatory quarantines due to the recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. The pandemic has put a strain on many local merchants who are scrambling to keep up with the demand of items such as toilet paper, bottled water and disinfectants. The photo above is of a toilet paper/paper towel aisle at the Walmart in Dinuba. It was taken on the afternoon of March 13 and lines reportedly formed as early as 5 a.m. over the weekend by those hoping to purchase more items.

Angulo lives near the area and was also at Saturday’s accident. “It’s happened again,” he said. “See what I mean, too many acci- dents here.”
At night, Angulo said conditions near the area become worse because the stop sign at South Avenue is not lit up and can be difficult for mo- torists to see.
“A four way stop sign needs to be put here,” he said. “Maybe some better lighting or a blinking stop sign.”
