Los Angeles County is suspending outdoor dining for the foreseeable future as coronavirus cases surge in the region and across the country.
The order from the public health department will force restaurants, wineries and breweries into a takeout and delivery-only model for the first time since May. It will remain in effect for at least three weeks, though it could last longer.
If cases keep rising, the county will impose even stricter rules, including a “targeted” stay-at-home order for three weeks. Residents are currently urged to stay home as much as possible.
Public health officials made the announcement on Sunday, and the order will be effective on Wednesday.
