(KTLA 5) – All residents within the city of Los Angeles should continue to remain in their homes and follow the city’s “safer-at-home” order, which mirrors guidance from L.A. County, according to the mayor’s office. A public order posted on the mayor’s website Wednesday detailed many of the restrictions, including a ban on some travel with a variety of exemptions.
Email and text alerts from the city’s NotifyLA System also went out Wednesday, although the mayor’s deputy press secretary, Harrison Wollman, said the guidance has been in place for days. “The city uploaded the most recent version of its safer-at-home order today to match the county’s current order that was enacted earlier this week,” Wollman said.
“The two orders are identical, and the process of publishing the official document on our website is a formality that occurs each time the order is revised.” The order, first issued in March, was revised one other time, in June. Many residents were notified with an email and text alert from the city’s NotifyLA System Wednesday night.
A spokesman for the mayor’s office said although the NotifyLA System alerts were accurate, they did not include any new restrictions. Non-exempt businesses in the city have been ordered to cease operations that require in-person attendance of staff. There is a broad list of exceptions for various businesses and workers deemed essential or exempt. READ MORE
