Effective June 19, the State has granted Los Angeles County permission to reopen restaurants for in-person dining, and resume services at barbershops and hair salons, with protocols in place. Libraries are also open for curbside pick-up, as are museums, parks, drive-in movie theaters, gyms and fitness centers, day camps and professional sports without audiences – all with limits.

In San Bernardino County, dine-in restaurants, stores and malls, nail salons, tattoo studios and personal care services can reopen with safety measures after a stateordered shut down 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/. Youth sports outside of day camp settings, indoor playgrounds, live theater, saunas and steam rooms, nightclubs, concert venues, festivals, theme parks and higher education campuses were not authorized to reopen as of mid-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.
