The State of California established a blueprint for reducing COVID-19 across the state. The tier framework is based on each County’s rate of new cases, positivity rate, and health equity metric. LA County is currently in Tier 1, indicating the transmission of COVID-19 is still widespread. Effective November 21, 2020, all counties in Tier 1 must cease gatherings with members of other households and all activities conducted outside the residence, lodging, or temporary accommodation with members of other households between 10:00pm and 5:00am. Delivery, take-out, and curbside pick-up may continue during hours closed.
In response to the recent surge of COVID-19 cases and increases in hospitalizations and testing positivity rates throughout LA County, a Temporary Targeted Safer at Home Order has been issued and is effective November 30, 2020. The following businesses must close their indoor operations:
· Indoor portions and exhibits of museums, zoos, aquariums, and botanical gardens
· Fitness facilities
· Non-essential office-based businesses
· Places of worship
The following businesses must remained closed:
· Lounges and nightclubs
· Bars, and craft distilleries that possess a valid low-risk restaurant permit issued by LA County
· Public entertainment venues: movie theaters, live performance theaters, concert venues, theme parks and festivals
· Family entertainment centers: bowling alleys, arcades, laser tag, roller skating, ice skating
· Restaurants, breweries and wineries for in-person onsite dining (outdoor and indoor)
