La Verne: Recovery Begins - Some Non-Essential Businesses To Re-Open May 8

Press release from the La Verne Chamber of Commerce:

May 06, 2020

LA County residents are doing their part to follow the County’s “Safer at Home” Health Officer Order which has slowed the spread of COVID-19. LA County is now taking its first steps towards reopening businesses and getting people back to work.

Starting Friday, May 8, the following businesses, facilities or locations will re-open across LA County:

Non-essential businesses: only for curbside pick-up with adherence to distancing and infection control protocols. This includes:

• Bookstores
• Clothing stores
• Florists
• Music stores
• Sporting goods stores
• Toy stores
• Car dealership showrooms (open for sales with adherence to distancing and infection control protocols)

Outdoor parks and recreational facilities: will open provided all activities adhere to distancing and infection control protocols. This includes:

• Golf courses, not including pro-shops or dine-in restaurants
• Trails
• Trailheads
• Parks

The reopening process for certain business sectors will occur in stages and require physical distancing and infection control practices. Health Officer Orders and directives will still continue to ensure that we slow the spread of COVID-19 to prevent an overwhelming surge of COVID-19 cases at healthcare facilities. Physical distancing, wearing cloth face coverings, frequent hand washing, self-isolation and self-quarantine will continue to be very important throughout the foreseeable future. We remind all LA County residents to continue to do your part to slow the spread of COVID-19.
