LOS ANGELES — Mayor Eric Garcetti tonight issued an emergency order to strengthen the City’s response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), placing temporary restrictions on restaurants, bars, and other establishments in the City of Los Angeles.
The order includes temporary closure of bars and nightclubs that do not serve food, movie theaters and entertainment venues, bowling alleys and arcades, and gyms and fitness centers. Restaurants, bars and retail food facilities may not serve food for consumption on their premises but may continue to offer food for delivery, takeout or drive-thru. Mayor Garcetti also strongly urged houses of worship to limit large gatherings on their premises and observe social distancing practices in their services.
“We are all first-responders in this crisis,” said Mayor Garcetti. “I don’t take these steps lightly, but they are absolutely necessary — because our decisions today have the power to slow the spread of the virus and save lives.”
The restrictions will take effect in the City of Los Angeles beginning at 11:59 p.m. tonight and will remain in place through noon on March 31, 2020. They are subject to extension.

Echoing guidelines distributed by the CDC since the beginning of the outbreak and Jewish mothers since the beginning of time, the younger Brooks urged followers to wash their hands, avoid large crowds and stay home whenever possible. Meanwhile, his father stood behind the safety of a glass door, making gestures that looked supportive but could have also meant “Of course I’m still going to the movies,” “Bump elbows? That’s ridiculous,” or “Your mother and I have planned this cruise for months. What could go wrong?”
AT 47, Max Brooks is young enough to feel safe from the virus. But he entreated his cohort to stay at home for the sake of their elders.
“If I get coronavirus, I’ll probably be OK,” he said in the now-viral — pun very much unintended — video. “But if I give it to him, he could give it to Carl Reiner, who could give it to Dick Van Dyke, and before I know it, I’ve wiped out a whole generation of comedic legends.”
