The reopening process for certain business sectors will occur in stages and require physical distancing and infection control practices. Health Officer Orders and directives will still continue to ensure that we slow the spread of COVID-19 to prevent an overwhelming surge of COVID-19 cases at healthcare facilities. Physical distancing, wearing cloth face coverings, frequent hand washing, self-isolation and self-quarantine will continue to be very important throughout the foreseeable future. We remind all LA County residents to continue to do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19.
