On January 25, 2021, Los Angeles County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer announced that the county would be permitting outdoor dining starting Friday, January 29. The county will also remove operation restrictions for non-essential businesses between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. The County’s announcement followed Governor Gavin Newsom’s lifting of the state’s Regional Stay at Home Order earlier today.

LA County Board of Supervisors Chair Hilda Solis released a statement that “Los Angeles County will essentially align with the state, by the end of the week, to allow for the reopening of permitted activities under the Purple Tier. This will include outdoor dining.” 

Under the Purple Tier/Tier 1 restrictions, retail is open indoors at a maximum 25% capacity, hair salons may open with limited 25% capacity and outdoor dining is permitted.

We expect more details to be released with the health officer order later this week.
