Los Angeles County moved into the less restrictive red tier on March 15 as part of the state’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. The move allowed certain businesses, including restaurants, to resume limited indoor operations. Though occupancy limits apply (25 percent capacity or 100 people, whichever is fewer) and tables must remain at least eight feet apart, the move to the red tier was welcome news after months of prohibitions.
“This transition presents a promising future for our City as we continue to work together toward fully reopening,” said Mayor Lester Friedman in a statement this week.
