With the county easing back its COVID-19 masking and vaccine-verification rules, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez introduced a motion Friday to end the city’s mandate requiring proof of vaccination to enter many indoor establishments and large outdoor events.
The city ordinance, which went into effect Nov. 8, requires people over age 12 to show proof of vaccination before patronizing indoor restaurants, gyms, entertainment and recreational facilities, personal care establishments and some city buildings. The law also requires people to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 case to attend outdoor events with 5,000 or more people.
Los Angeles County this week dropped its requirement that people show proof of vaccination to patronize indoor portions of bars, nightclubs and lounges or outdoor mega-events. But people attending indoor mega-events of 1,000 or more people — such as sporting events — are still required to show proof of COVID vaccination or a recent negative test to be admitted. Vaccine verification or a negative test is also still required for workers at health care facilities and congregate-care facilities.
Los Angeles also enforces a vaccination mandate for its employees, who were required to be inoculated against COVID-19 by Dec. 18. Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino, who is running for mayor, on Friday called for that mandate to be repealed, saying he believes “it should be a matter of personal choice and that we should respect our employees’ civil liberties and allow them to make their own personal medical decisions.
