The Beverly Hills City Council voted 4-1 to allow elective surgeries to resume on April 28, following last week’s move by Gov. Gavin Newsom allowing hospitals and health care systems to resume delayed medical care for Californians.
The decision, which amends portions of the City’s March 16 urgency ordinance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to prohibit all elective medical, dental and surgical procedures, makes Beverly Hills one of the first cities in the nation to reopen medical and dental practices for delayed medically necessary procedures.
