1. Hair Salons, Barbershops, and In-Person Dining at Restaurants Allowed to Reopen with Safeguards in Place
Today, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health announced that it is allowing the reopening of hair salons, barbershops and in-person dining at restaurants as long asrequired safeguards are in place. Culver City will release an order that mirrors the County’sorder. Even before the City's order is released, businesses can proceed in preparing to reopen using the County’s protocols posted on LA County Department of Public Health's website.
Afew of the requirements are listed below:
In-Person Dining at Restaurants
Physical distancing measures must be in place.
Occupancy capacity must be limited to 60% for the next three weeks.
Employees and customers must be screened for symptoms, including cough and fever. Patrons feeling unwell should not eat at a restaurant.
Restaurants should prioritizeoutdoor seating and curbside pickup are prioritized.
Reservations will be encouraged.
Customers will be asked to wait for their table in their cars or outside of the restaurant to prevent crowds from gathering. If there is a queue for a table, patrons must stand six (6) feet apart from other parties.
Diners must wear cloth face coverings when not eating.
Employees and customers will be screened for symptoms, including cough and fever. Clients feeling unwell should reschedule their appointment, stay home, and call their medical provider, if necessary.
Everyone, including clients, must wear cloth face coverings while in the salon or barber shop and clients are encouraged to wear face coverings with earloops to ensure the face covering does not interfere with the hair service.
Magazines, coffee and other amenities will not be available.
Clients are encouraged to use credit cards and contactless payment systems. If electronic or card payment is not possible, customers should come with exact cash payment or check, if available.
The Following Businesses Shall Remain Closed for Now:

Spa services including massage, facials and waxing
Gyms and fitness centers
Beach piers
Indoor entertainment venues including arcades, bowling alleys, movie theaters, live performance theaters, concert halls, stadiums, arenas, theme parks, gaming facilities and festivals
Indoor museums, galleries and zoos
2. The Risk of COVID-19 Remains High. It’s Still Safer at Home.
It is important to note: as businesses reopen, the risk of COVID-19 has not gone away. You could have COVID-19 and no know it. If at any time, the County’s rate of infection and other key metrics return to unsafe levels, Public Health can limit or close reopenedbusiness sectors. The best protection against COVID-19 continues to be to:
wash your hands frequently
avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
self-isolate if you are sick
practice physical distancing, and
wear a clean face covering when in contact with others from outside your household.
People who are 65 and older and those who have underlying health conditions remain at much greater risk for serious illness from COVID-19.It continues to be very important for these vulnerable residents to stay at home as much as possible, to have groceries and medicine delivered, and to call their providers immediately if they have mild symptoms.
3. Commercial Tenant Eviction Moratorium Remains in Effect
Eviction of a commercial tenant for reasons related to COVID-19 remains prohibited in Culver City through August 31, 2020 or the end of the local emergency (whichever is sooner). The City Council recently updated the regulations so that all companies with less than 200 employees now have a 12-month grace period to repay Back Rent. The Eviction Moratorium does not apply to companies with 200 or more employees, multi-national companies, or publicly traded companies. You can find more information on the City’s Coronavirus Business Information webpage.
