This week, counties across California will be allowed to ease some of the nation’s most stringent remaining pandemic restrictions.
Starting today, restaurants in Los Angeles County will be able to serve diners indoors for the first time in most of a year. Gyms, movie theaters and museums, which have all been shuttered or allowed to operate only outside, will at last be able to open their doors in L.A., as well as in Orange, San Bernardino, Sonoma and nine other counties moving from the state’s most restrictive purple tier to the second most restrictive red tier in the state’s color-coded reopening framework.
