“People who attend these parties don’t care what the virus is, they try to stop the virus from spreading,” said Maj. Jacob Ruiz, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office. “These parties seem to be happening more frequently even since the state has reopened and things are trying to get back to normal, they even care less.”
