Los Angeles County is seeing new signs of a resurgent economy, with plummeting coronavirus cases allowing for a faster-than-expected reopening of bars and expanded capacity for restaurants and other businesses.
In progressing Tuesday to the least restrictive yellow tier of California’s color-coded reopening system, the nation’s most populous county can now unshackle its economy to the widest extent possible, sparking hope for significant recovery in sectors long battered by the pandemic.
A swath of businesses and venues including restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, amusement parks, stadiums and museums will be able to operate at higher capacity starting later this week. Indoor bars will be able to reopen without being required to serve food.
