L.A. County, the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in California with more than 2,100 deaths, is still moving slower than other counties in reopening, hoping to avoid a surge in illnesses.
Gatherings of people not from the same household are still prohibited, except for faith-based services and in-person protests.
People 65 or older and all people with underlying health conditions should remain in their residences as much as possible, health experts say. People in these categories should leave their residences only to seek medical care, exercise or obtain food or other necessities. Telecommuting should continue as much as possible.
Physical distancing requirements, the wearing of face coverings and other safety protocols must still be observed, officials said.“Aligning Los Angeles County’s health orders with that of the state is going to provide immediate relief to our communities,” Kathryn Barger, chair of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement.
L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis acknowledged the importance of reopening certain activities but noted that it “does not mean going back to business as usual.” “As long as community members follow safety rules, we can continue to make more progress,” she said. “Our houses of worship can once again welcome people inside. Shopping malls and communal flea markets can get back to business. I am so proud of all the progress we’ve made to protect our loved ones from COVID-19. Given our resilience and collective sacrifice, we are ready to take the next step to reopen our economy.
