Since the yellow tier requirements for reopening went into effect last week, Public Health inspectors have followed up to ensure businesses are following the health safety protocols. Last weekend, inspectors visited 304 restaurants and issued only one citation. Inspectors also visited 29 bars, 13 breweries, wineries, or tasting rooms, 27 retail sales establishments, 51 gyms and fitness centers, 77 hair salons or barbershops, 99 food markets, and 86 personal care businesses, and overall found very good compliance with the health officer order. Inspectors will be out in full force again this weekend visiting businesses and ensuring compliance with safety protocols.

“We know there are people across our community who have suffered tremendous loss. For those of you mourning the passing of a loved one, we wish you healing and peace,” said Barbara Ferrer, PhD, MPH, MEd, Director of Public Health. “As more sectors and businesses open, and capacity increases at indoor activities, it’s very important that we continue to implement safety protocols to avoid transmission and outbreaks. At this point in time, everyone needs to adhere to required Cal/OSHA distancing and masking at all workplaces. State and county directives require that everyone wear a mask when at businesses and in crowded venues. With just 40% of LA County residents fully vaccinated, public health safety measures, including masking, distancing, and hand washing, will help us avoid additional cases.”

This weekend, anyone 12 years and older can now get vaccinated without booking an appointment at all 8 County-run vaccination sites and many other vaccination sites across the County. Teens 12 – 17 years old should be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult. Registration for COVID-19 appointments will be completed on-site.

Public Health is committed on ensuring an equitable distribution of vaccines and ensuring eligible residents and workers in hard hit communities have increased access to vaccines.
