\"Citations were issued to 22 people found near the beach in Encinitas in violation of San Diego County's stay-at-home order, authorities announced Saturday morning.\
\
The tickets were issued Friday to people who "were watching the sunset, having picnics near the beach," according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.\
\
"Everyone is required to stay home, except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care or go to an essential job," the department tweeted Saturday morning. "Complacency is the enemy. Take social distancing more seriously to stop coronavirus."\
\
The violations carry fines of up to \$1,000 or six months in jail or both, the department said.\"\
