LA rules stay at home amid COVID-19 spike

City of los angeles released Stay at home Order on Wednesday night that mirrors LA County rules that apply on Monday.

The city order prohibits the gathering of people outside of immediate homes, with some exceptions such as religious service and protest.

Parks and trails with golf courses, tennis courts and beaches remain open. Music and television production is allowed.

“City and county orders are the same. In the past, there have been some minor differences, but currently they are similar, ”said Alex Comicer, a spokesman for Mayor Eric Garcetti.

“My message couldn’t be simpler: It’s time to hunk,” Garcetti said Wednesday. “It is time to cancel everything. And if it’s not necessary, don’t do it. “

“Do not meet others outside your home. Do not host a gathering, do not attend a gathering and follow our targeted safe-house order, if you are able to stay home, stay home. Just be smart and be different. “

County regulations, although no less severe than the order to stay in a home started in the spring, are still Strongest ban in months.

Barbara Ferrer, director of Los Angeles County Public Health, said Saturday that officials expected more narrow conformity restrictions would be sufficient to slow the spread of coronovirus without giving it stringent measures.
