Alleging the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has failed its residents and harmed its businesses during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the West Covina City Council in a split decision this week voted to begin the process of forming its own health department.
The move would eventually free the 16-square-mile city of about 110,000 residents from health mandates handed down by the county’s health department such as bar and restaurant closures related to COVID-19 but not until it creates a department of its own that meets state health requirements. It would not free the city from state health mandates.
