[Asia Economy reporters Seunggon Han and intern Juhyung Lim] To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), an American man dressed as the 'Grim Reaper' and visited a beach, drawing attention.

On the 2nd (local time), Daniel Wulfelder, a lawyer residing in Florida, USA, dressed as the Grim Reaper and visited a beach in Walton County near Florida.

On that day, Wulfelder wrapped his body and face with black cloth and walked along the beach holding a black scythe symbolizing the Grim Reaper. In an interview with the American media 'CNN,' Wulfelder explained the reason for dressing as the Grim Reaper, saying, "There are too many people," and "Allowing the reopening of beaches during the (COVID-19) pandemic could put the community at risk."

He added, "Right now, we lack testing frequency and data," expressing concern that "we are not prepared to respond to the global pandemic."

On the same day, Wulfelder posted a photo of himself standing on the beach on his Twitter account with the message "Stay home."

Florida is currently reopening some restaurants, businesses, and beaches. On the 30th of last month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated, "We will restore Florida to its original state," explaining, "We will approach this safely, smartly, and sequentially."

Meanwhile, the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in Florida so far is 34,728, with 1,314 deaths among them.
