Effective May 29, the State has granted Los Angeles County permission to reopen restaurants for in-person dining, and resume services at barbershops and hair salons with proper protocols in place.

In San Bernardino County, dine-in restaurants, stores and malls can reopen with safety measures after a state-ordered shutdown that ended in May and lasted more than two months.

Businesses that plan to reopen are required to follow state guidance detailed at https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/. Gyms, hair and nail salons, barber shops, movie theaters, sports and entertainment venues, libraries, bars and wineries, hotels and motels, and public swimming facilities were not authorized to reopen as of early June.

All businesses must adhere to distancing and infection control protocols that provide safety for employees, customers and the County’s most vulnerable residents before reopening.

Permission is subject to change depending on government responses to health conditions. Call the business or local government if there are questions about operations.
