2. Restaurant Dining – Only with Members of Your Household

Public Health modified the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order on January 29, 2021 to closely align with the sector re-openings permitted in the State's Blueprint for a Safer Economy most restrictive purple tier. Outdoor dining at restaurants, wineries, and breweries is allowed to reopen with additional safety measures in place to mitigate the increased risk since customers are permitted to spend time unmasked at these businesses. Indoor dining is not permitted. All employees that can come in contact with customers must wear both a face covering and a face shield at all times.  Persons from different households are not allowed to share a table. All establishments must post signage to this effect and verbally inform customers that everyone sharing a table must be from the same household. Tables must be positioned at least 8 feet apart and televisions or other screens must be turned off. Viewing of the Super Bowl will not be allowed at restaurants or breweries this year.

Know your risk. As outdoor dining reopens in Los Angeles County, COVID-19 is still spreading. It’s important to know the risk to yourself and others.

• Lowest Risk: Drive-thru, delivery, take-out and curbside pick-up
• More Risk: Outdoor dining with only members of your household and tables spaced out.
• Higher Risk: Dining with people you don’t live with, outdoor dining with no table spacing, indoor dining with tables spaced out (note: per the Health Officer Order, indoor dining is prohibited at this time).
• Highest Risk: Indoor dining with people you don’t live with at full capacity and no table spacing.

3. The Math is Simple

Public Health is seeing a downward trend in numbers, but we need to keep our guard up. Today, Public Health confirmed a third case of COVID-19 variant originally discovered in the United Kingdom. The presence of this variant in Los Angeles County means virus transmission can happen more easily, and residents and businesses must be more diligent at implementing and following all standard public health safety measures, including face coverings, distancing, and handwashing. Also, please remember: Don't gather with people indoors. If you must gather, do it outdoors, create a stable group (2 other households, and you only see each other), with distancing and face coverings on at all times.

Today, President Joseph R. Biden and Governor Gavin Newsom announced that two large-scale community-focused vaccine centers will be piloted in Oakland and East Los Angeles. With an eye toward responding to the vaccination needs of our vulnerable and diverse communities, these two sites are the first of 100 planned nationwide.

The State is opening these sites with a mission to address community needs and ensure an effective process that can vaccinate as many Californians as possible. Appointments will be available in the coming days on the MyTurn COVID-19 vaccine scheduling website.

Residents with internet access and a computer are urged to use the Vaccinate LA County website to reserve an appointment. For those without access to the internet, or with disabilities, a call center is open daily from 8 AM to 8:30 PM to help schedule appointments; dial (833) 540-0473 if you are in need of assistance. Please note that this phone line is reserved for people with disabilities or for those who don’t have internet access.

Avoid vaccine scams and remember:

• You cannot pay to put your name on a list to get the vaccine. That’s a scam.
• You cannot pay to get early access to the vaccine. That’s a scam.
• Nobody legit will call, text, or email you about the vaccine and ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers. That’s a scam.
