Courteney Cox masks up and wears wide-leg jeans to dine al fresco at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica

Friends alum Courteney Cox sported a grey T-shirt and black wide-leg jeans for dinner al fresco at 30-year-old, family-run Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on Wednesday night.

After California‘s coronavirus numbers spiked, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered the closure of indoor dining in 30 counties on July 13 in order to slow the spread.

The 56-year-old Golden Globe nominee made sure to protect herself and others from the coronavirus by wearing a striped cherry-print mask, which Newsom made mandatory for all public outings on June 18.

As of Tuesday, there have been over 235K confirmed COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County, which has lead to 5,663 deaths – according to Johns Hopkins University.

Missing from Courteney’s side was her fiancé – Snow Patrol guitarist-keyboard player Johnny McDaid – who’s been quarantining in London during lockdown.

The Alabama-born brunette was also without her daughter Coco Arquette, who shared a poolside picture with her 329K Instagram followers on Sunday.
