On the South of San Felipe various pages there is mention of mandatory 14 day self quarantined. The locals don't want foreigners bringing the virus
down with them.
From Puertecitos area:

Baja is closed for tourism.
There is a government mandated stay at home order-- shelter in place from March 30 - May 30. Only essential businesses like grocery stores and gas
stations are allowed to be open. If anyone needs to go out, a mask and self-distancing of 6 feet is required. The town of San Felipe and its beaches,
north and south of town are closed. Only residents, including foreigners holding a permanent residency card, are allowed to be in San Felipe.
Check points are randomly located to ensure this is enforced. This has nothing to do with political beliefs or anyone's opinion about the virus. We
should not avoid the government orders. Please respect the Mexican government's laws. The communities are working together to help get through this.
We all look forward to this being in the rear-view mirror, but for now, business is shut down! . 20 vehicles were turned around at the military
checkpoint north of San Felipe yesterday.

My understanding has been that main restriction is that non-essential cross-border travelers are not allowed except for returning citizens. Your
friends are looking to break the law. But, given notably unpredictable Mexican enforcement, they just might succeed. Sorry, no real report.

About 10 days ago a friend of mine's daughter was trying to travel to Southern Baja. She was turned around at Guerrero Negro. She is a Mexican
citizen, but with residency in Northern Baja.
