Culver City Closes the Bars Again – COVID Risk Too High

Monday, June 29, 2020 as directed by Governor Gavin Newsom, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health) ordered the closure of all bars, breweries, brew pubs, pubs, wineries and tasting rooms in Los Angeles County, including Culver City, until further notice. Once signed, Public Health’s new health officer order will be posted on the Public Health website.

State and county public health officials have been closely monitoring COVID-19 infection rates and key metrics across the state and in Los Angeles County. Community spread of infection is of increasing concern. Public Health is reporting an increase in hospitalizations and the testing positivity rate has increased.

Public Health is concerned with the increasing cases among individuals between the ages of 18 and 40, now comprising forty-one percent of cases. People in this age range typically have low risk for serious illness or death, but these individuals may unknowingly infect parents, grandparents and friends and family who have underlying health conditions and who are at greater risk for serious illness and death.

Everyone must continue to follow physical distancing and infection control directives and wear a clean cloth face covering that securely covers both your nose and mouth when around people outside of your household.
