Please note the Revised Targeted Temporary Safer at Home Health Officer Order for Control of COVID-19 (12/6/20), which went into effect in Los Angeles County last night at 11:59 PM, and will go to at least 11:59 PM (PST) on December 27, 2020. This Revised Temporary Order has been updated and is issued as a response to the sustained and substantial rise in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.

A list of the businesses, recreational sites, commercial properties, and activities which are closed are listed on page six of the Revised Temporary Order. To align and comply with the State’s December 3, 2020 Regional Stay Home Order (PDF), in addition to the businesses that were already closed, the Health Officer orders the closure of the following:

• Family entertainment centers for all activities
  • This includes (but is not limited to) closure of miniature golf, go-karts, and batting cages
• Indoor and outdoor playgrounds
• Museums, zoos, and aquariums
• Personal Care Services, including (but not limited to) closure of hair salons and barbershops
• Cardrooms

This order may be extended beyond December 27, 2020 if the projections of the Southern California Region’s total available adult ICU bed capacity is less than 15%.
