Restaurant reopening rules to be reviewed Wednesday
LOS ANGELES - On Wednesday, Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer says she will be holding briefings with restaurant operators and employee unions to review additional safety measures that will be required ahead of restaurants reopening for outdoor dining following a lifting of regional stay-at-home orders.
Ferrer did not provide specifics on those requirements, but the county previously restricted eateries to 50% of outdoor capacity, and mandated that servers wear both masks and face shields.
She also said Los Angeles County will have its inspectors out in force, prepared to issue citations to reopening businesses that aren t following restrictions, such as capacity limits and face-covering requirements.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) The United States is ramping up COVID-19 vaccine rollout as January marks the deadliest month yet since the onset of the pandemic in the country. In face of growing frustration over vaccine shortages, U.S. President Joe Biden announced Tuesday a roughly 16 percent boost in vaccine deliveries to states over the next three weeks. The country expects to provide enough doses to vaccinate 300 million Americans by the end of the summer or early fall, according to Biden. Biden, calling the push a wartime effort, said the administration was working to buy an additional 100 million doses of each of the two approved coronavirus vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer.
California Public Health officials lifted the regional Stay at Home Order statewide on Monday as Los Angeles County Public Health officials confirmed 43 new deaths and 6,642 new cases of confirmed COVID-19 countywide, and Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital in Valencia reported five new deaths on Saturday and Monday.
After reporting three fatalities Friday, the hospital reported four new deaths Saturday and one additional death Monday, bringing the number of people who have died at Henry Mayo to 39 so far in January, and 112 since the pandemic began, according to spokesman Patrick Moody.
The Santa Clarita Valley has reached a total of 23,227 cases 560 more than Friday and 195 deaths since L.A. county’s first confirmed COVID-19 infection one year ago on January 26, 2020.
