VIDEO: Circles help social distance efforts at SF's Dolores Park
Circles painted on the grass at San Francisco's Dolores Park aim to help with social distancing efforts during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

There are newly painted circles on a section of the park's lawn, intended to keep people six-feet apart.
