1. Culver City Parks Closed on Easter, Sunday, April 12
All Culver City parks will be closed on Easter, Sunday, April 12, 2020. Los Angeles County and the cities of Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Hollywood are also closing their parks on Easter in order to encourage people to remain in their homes. This year, we encourage you to celebrate Easter and Passover at home at this critical moment in the fight against COVID-19. Some ideas for how to celebrate safely at home:
Holy Week
Follow a service online or on T.V.
Make your own communion bread or share a recipe for unleavened bread with others.
Exchange craft ideas or activity pages with your congregation and invite them to share them with friends and neighbors.
Share your thoughts or ask others to share their thoughts on the meaning of Good Friday.
Passover/Seder
Produce a video or social post explaining the significance of Passover.
Share a recipe for unleavened bread that others can make at home.
Host a virtual Seder Dinner and explain the parts of the meal.
Create a worship medley or watch party, or follow one online.

3. LA County Department of Public Health Issues a New Health Officer Order
Today, the LA County Department of Public Health issueda new Health Officer Order that extends its“Stay at Home” order and other previous orders through May 15, 2020.
Today’s order also requires all essential businesses by April 15thto provide a cloth face covering for all employees to wear while performing duties that involve contact with other employees and or the public, and for these businesses to post physical distancing plans. The public is also required to wear a face covering to enter essential businesses.
4. Face Coverings for Workers and Customers Are Required
Beginning today, April 10, workers and customers must wear face coverings (such as a bandana, scarf, or other cloth face covering) over their noses and mouthswhen working at or visiting grocery stores, restaurants, and most other types of essential businesses in the City of Culver City.
Employees who work at, customers of, and visitors to most essential businesses, must wear face coverings over their noses and mouths.
Employees must wash these face coverings frequently--at least once a day.
Single-use face coverings must be properly discarded into the trash.
The face coverings do not need to be medical-grade masks or N95 respirators (these are needed by healthcare personnel).
The face coverings can be fabric coverings, such as scarves or bandanas.
Face coverings are not a substitute for our most powerful tools to slow the spread of COVID-19: staying home and practicing physical distancing – staying six feet away from all people – at all times. However, face coverings can:
help prevent you from infecting others; and
help save medical masks for healthcare workers or other essential workers that take care of people who are sick - or may be in contact with people who may be sick
If you are already using cloth face coverings while out and about, thank you for taking this step to slow the spread of COVID-19. If you aren't, help us save lives by doing so.
In partnership with the Governor and the California Department of Aging, AARP has launched the California For All resource card, a one-stop information guide on COVID-19 for ALL Californians.
The Resource Card is a centerpiece of the “Stay Home. Save Lives. Check In.” campaign, which urges all Californians to help combat social isolation and food insecurity by checking in on vulnerable neighbors with a call, a text, or a “physically-distanced” knock on the door.
6. Free COVID-19 Testing Available
The City of Los Angeles has made free testing available to residents of Los Angeles County, including Culver City residents, who are displaying symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone who is interested in getting tested must first register on the screening website. This first step will determine if you are eligible to be tested. You will be asked to answer basic questions including name, date of birth, address, and whether you are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing. After you answer all screening questions, the website (in real time) determines your testing eligibility and will identify the nearest testing site.
