Governor Gavin Newsom and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) announced on Nov. 19 a limited Stay at Home Order for all counties (including Los Angeles) in Purple Tier 1, requiring that non-essential work and gatherings stop between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The order will take effect at 10 p.m. on Nov. 21 and will remain until 5 a.m. Dec. 21.
The limited Stay at Home Order is the latest restriction in a week that began with Newsom sounding an alarm about the surge in COVID-19 cases. On Nov. 17, L.A. County health officials announced new safeguards and restrictions to help slow the spread. Effective Nov. 20, those measures include: limiting maximum capacity to 25 percent for non-essential indoor businesses such as retail stores, offices and personal care services; limiting maximum capacity to 50 percent for outdoor restaurants, breweries and wineries; limiting maximum capacity to 50 percent at cardrooms, outdoor mini-golf, go-karts and batting cages; requiring appointments-only at personal care establishments; prohibiting services that require customers to remove their face coverings such as facials and shaves and not allowing food and drinks to be served to customers at these establishments.
