After a two-month shutdown due to surging COVID-19 cases, outdoor dining in Los Angeles County return on Friday, January 29th, but with a new restriction forcing restaurants to turn off or remove all televisions used for broadcast programming.
The county s revised Health Officer Order also reinstates previous restrictions on patio dining, requiring servers to wear masks and face shields, limiting restaurants to 50% of outdoor capacity and requiring tables to be at least 8 feet apart.
The updated order limits table seating to six people, and all people seated at a table should be members of the same household. It encourages, but does not require, seating to be done by advance reservation.
