Los Angeles County is expected to implement new restrictions later this week as COVID-19 cases continue to surge across California. A curfew will be implemented for all restaurants, breweries, wineries, bars and nonessential businesses from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., effective Friday, November 20. Restaurants with outdoor dining, breweries and wineries across Los Angeles County will also be reduced to 50 percent capacity. Services at personal care establishments are expected to be appointment-only. The number of customers at cardrooms, outdoor minigolf, go-karts and batting cages will be limited to 50 percent outdoor capacity. Following Tuesday night's announcement, the Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told FOX 11's Bill Melugin he was not consulted by the county regarding a curfew order. As of Tuesday evening, Governor Gavin Newsom has not made a final decision on whether to issue a statewide curfew. Earlier this week, most counties in California were pushed back into purple, the state's most restrictive tier in reopening businesses. All gatherings are limited to 15 people from three households.
