Safer L.A. - City and County of Los Angeles will enter Stage 2

Starting May 8, the City and County of Los Angeles will enter Stage II and begin the process of slow and gradual adjustments to the Safer at Home order. Physical distancing, face coverings and other safety measures will remain in place and will be even more important.

STAGE TWO: OUR NEW REALITY

The hard truth is that we will be living with COVID-19 until there is an effective vaccine or treatment for the virus. Only then will the pandemic truly be over. Public health experts expect that COVID-19 could continue to pose a threat for as long as two years. The response to this threat will evolve over time as public health experts and government leaders continue to evaluate its status and make decisions accordingly.

On May 8, 2020, the City and County of Los Angeles transitioned to Stage II, making minor adjustments to some restrictions.

Everyone in Los Angeles should proceed carefully — to ensure that we do not create a surge of infections. Angelenos should continue to wear face coverings in public, avoid coming into close contact with other individuals, and practice social distancing of at least 6 feet. Everyone should continue to limit travel and non-essential activities, and stay home as much as possible.

Effective Friday, May 8, some retail establishments are allowed to offer online/phone orders and curbside pick-up ONLY, including: florists, toy stores, music stores, bookstores, clothing stores, and sporting goods stores. Car dealership showrooms open for sales with adherence to distancing and cleaning and infection control protocol. Restaurants will remain closed for dine-in guests.

Trails, trailhead parks, and golf courses will be reopened on Saturday, May 9, as long as activities adhere to distancing and cleaning and infection control protocol, including the wearing of face coverings.

The City has issued the following preliminary guidance to assist retail businesses offering curbside pickup starting May 8.
