The State of California has announced additional closures to indoor operations in all Southern California counties. The City of Long Beach will release an updated Health Order mandating the closure of additional indoor operations that bring together people from different households in settings where physical distance and the wearing of face-coverings are difficult to align with the State’s orders.
The following businesses may conduct outdoor operations, in accordance with the Long Beach Health Order and provided that any City-issued permit required for the activity is obtained:
- Personal care services, including nail salons, tanning salons, esthetician, skin care and cosmetology services; body art professionals, tattoo parlors, micro blading and permanent make-up and piercing shops; massage therapy (in non-healthcare settings)
- Gyms and fitness centers
- Hair salons and barbers
- Religious services and cultural ceremonies
- Political protests
Indoor shopping malls must close to the public, except for stores and vendors normally accessible from the exterior of the shopping mall. Stores and vendors located on the interior of a shopping mall may operate for curbside, door side or other outdoor delivery only. Strip malls, outlet malls and outdoor swap meets may continue to operate.
Businesses whose operations require employees work from an office worksite who are not identified as an essential business, healthcare operation or essential infrastructure may operate via telework and for minimum basic operations only.
The
mandatory closure goes into effect tonight, just after midnight (12:01 a.m., July 14, 2020)
. The amended City of Long Beach Health Order detailing the closures will be posted later today at
longbeach.gov/COVID19
.
Due to an inability to practice physical distancing, hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms located in common spaces and at multi-family residential properties are required to close.
Businesses with questions regarding mandatory closures may call the City of Long Beach’s business information line between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays at 562.570.4BIZ.
