County Of Los Angeles - Update 10/20/20 - Celebrating La Dodgers, Updates On Social Gatherings

Press release from the Venice Chamber of Commerce:

October 20, 2020

CELEBRATING L.A. DODGERS, UPDATES ON SOCIAL GATHERINGS, WIFI LOCATOR AND NEW LANGUAGES FOR SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION

The County of Los Angeles is regularly updating resources on COVID-19 to meet the multi-cultural & linguistic needs of our County's most diverse communities. In an effort to keep you and yours informed, we share the following:

Go Dodgers!

It is important, now more than ever, to remember to celebrate our boys in blue safely as we cheer them on to the World Series. Host virtual watch parties, celebrate in small gatherings and, most importantly, show your support by wearing your favorite Dodger gear - especially your Dodger face covering!

Social Gatherings

Recently, the state updated its guidance to allow private gatherings of 3 or fewer households, as long as the private gathering is outdoors, everyone wears a cloth face covering and keeps at least 6 feet of physical distance, food is in single serve disposable containers, and the duration of the gathering is short.

Last Wednesday, the Department of Public Health updated the Health officer Order to align with the change in the state guidance.

It is recommended that, if you do gather with 2 other households, that you do so with the same households each time, creating a quasi-bubble that can reduce the risk of spreading the virus.

A single household or living unit does not include institutional group living situations such as dormitories, fraternities, sororities, or residential care facilities. Nor does it include commercial group living arrangements such as boarding houses, hotels or motels.

Please note, that also it is so important that you do not attend any private gathering if you are experiencing symptoms of illness, have tested positive for COVID-19 or if you have been exposed or likely have been exposed to someone who is positive.

As a reminder, large public events and gatherings remain prohibited by the Health Officer Order, even when held outdoors, and nothing in the state’s revised guidance changes this.

Free WiFi Locator Tool

L.A. County knows how important internet access is in the digital age. With an ongoing pandemic, more people are working and attending school virtually. We also understand that not everyone has affordable, reliable internet access available to them.

That's why the County has created a Free WiFi locator to help you get connected! Make sure to share this with your community to help them access this important service.
