NEW HEALTH OFFICER ORDER, LOCATIONS ALLOWED TO REOPEN TODAY, AND INCIDENT REPORT
The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 and offers today’s update in an effort to keep you and yours informed. Please share the following up-to-date information:
New Health Officer Order, Locations Reopening Today:
LA County has issued a revised Health Officer Order (link opens in new tab) as it moves forward in its Roadmap to Recovery (link opens in new tab). Yesterday’s Order allows for the reopening of additional personal and recreational services to residents, with the appropriate infection control and distancing requirements in place.
Currently, LA County remains in Phase 3 of the State of California’s Resilience Roadmap and continues to be in line with the State’s guidelines. The County’s seven-day death average has not increased, the three-day hospitalization average is down 5 % and the seven-day testing average is well above the State’s requirement at 17,000 tests conducted per day. In addition, the County’s positivity rate is 8 %, which is in line with the State’s requirements.
Reopening
Although overall case counts are increasing (as testing becomes more widespread and there is more community transmission) the County continues to see steady decreases in: 1) The rate of COVID-19 infections, and 2) COVID-19 related hospitalizations and deaths.
That said, the following locations have been allowed to reopen as soon as today:
- Nail salons
- Cosmetology services
- Spas offering aesthetic and massage services
- Tattoo and piercing shops
- Tanning salons
- Casinos, card rooms and satellite wagering sites
- Bar and wineries not anchored to food services
In addition, protests and faith-based services held outdoors no longer have limits on how many people can participate.
Requirements
Just as is required for all out-of-home activities, visitors and staff of today’s reopening sectors will have to: 1) Practice physical distancing; 2) Wear cloth face coverings; 3) Follow limited capacity directives; 4) Enhance cleaning and disinfecting procedures; and 5) People who feel sick should stay home.
