While the ability to conduct business as usual evaporated across the world in tandem with the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Beverly Hills continues to operate to the best of its capacity, albeit in a very modified way. Worldwide, 1.6 million people have contracted the virus, including 460,000 in the United States. Locally, as of April 9, there were 7,995 confirmed cases in L.A. County, including 71 in Beverly Hills and 98 in West Hollywood.
“I’m very proud of the level of service we continue to provide to Beverly Hills,” Mayor Lester Friedman told the Courier. “In the midst of a public health crisis, City employees from across all departments remain committed to the critical functions our community depends on.”
