Health Order Updates

Governor Newsom announced on January 25, 2021 that the Regional Stay At Home Order is no longer in effect. The State is in the process of reverting to the tiered approach that was used in November/December of 2020. At this time Los Angeles County remains in the second restrictive red tier. Some businesses will be allowed to reopen with modifications and proper precautionary measures in place. This will include restaurants for indoor and outdoor dining with modifications, hair & nail salons indoor with modifications, limited capacity, and with mandatory face masks, and youth sports competitions (more details to follow from the State of California). Los Angeles County has announced that beginning March 15, 2021 the County will be updating the Health Order  to closely align with the State’s reopening framework and reflect the changes in the red tier. County Public Health officials want to remind residents that we are not out of the pandemic and now is not the time to return to normalcy. Residents continue to be encouraged to adhere to social distancing protocol and the current guidelines for gatherings and leaving the household. The following may now be allowed starting today, March 15, 2021 in LA County:

  • Museum, Zoos and Aquariums  – Open indoors at 25% capacity.
  • Gyms, Fitness Centers, Yoga and Dance Studios – Open indoors at 10% capacity with masking requirement for all indoor activities.

COVID-19 Vaccine Registration

Los Angeles County residents who are 50 years old and older can now register for COVID-19 vaccination appointments. Residents in this high-priority age group should visit LAC | DPH | COVID-19 Vaccination Appointments (lacounty.gov) to schedule their appointments, which will begin Thursday, April 1st. Residents who don’t have computer access may call (833) 540-0473 between 8 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. for assistance with reservations. The vaccine supply is still extremely limited, and Los Angeles County continues to urge patience as we work urgently with our federal and state partners to expand capacity and supply in the weeks ahead. To ensure that people at higher risk of transmission and illness are vaccinated first, Los Angeles County has established a tier system. In addition to those 65+, priority for current vaccination is going to frontline health care workers and residents and staff at skilled nursing and long-term care facilities. This strategy works to protect our entire community by ensuring that our most vulnerable and most critical healthcare workers do not get sick. The opening of appointment registration for a new tier today comes as the County opens five large capacity vaccination sites across the County. The five established sites, which were chosen for their regional accessibility and their ability to handle large capacities of people, are:

  • Pomona Fairplex, 1101 W McKinley Ave., Pomona, CA 91768
  • The Forum, 3900 W Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90305
  • California State University, Northridge, 18111 Nordhoff St., Northridge, CA 91330
  • A. County Office of Education, 12830 Columbia Way, Downey, CA 90242
  • Six Flags Magic Mountain, 26101 Magic Mountain Pkwy., Valencia, CA 91355

These large-scale vaccination sites started operating Tuesday, January 19, and will be able to vaccinate approximately 4,000 people per day at each site, significantly increasing the number of people vaccinated. The large-scale vaccination sites will aim to vaccinate 500,000 Los Angeles County residents in a month. Vaccinations are free, and available to all, regardless of immigration status or insurance coverage. For those who have insurance, coverage information may be requested as part of the appointment scheduling process. In addition to the L.A. County operated sites, residents have other options for making an appointment for a vaccine. Currently, more than 75 pharmacies have registered to provide vaccinations, and we will continue to add more as more vaccines are available. Vaccine allocations are also going to large healthcare provider organizations like Kaiser Permanente and Providence Health and Services. In addition, residents may call their healthcare provider, as well, who may direct them to a preferred location for the vaccine.
