Los Angeles’ Proposed New Vaccine Requirement: People Must Get The Vaccine To Enter Malls, Movie Theaters, Hair Salons Etc
Los Angeles leaders are coming together to make new COVID-19 vaccine requirements and this could be the strictest one yet. According to YahooNews a proposal was sent on Tuesday, requiring people to get the shots in order to enter malls, movie theaters, and hair salons.
The report also includes tanning salons, skin care businesses, tattoo and piercing shops, massage therapy settings, arcades, pool halls and bowling alleys.
With approval starting November 4th, any outdoor functions more than 5,000 will require people to vaccination or show a negative test result.
It seems this proposal has came about since Los Angeles County announced 1,147 new cases being reported on Tuesday.
“We’ve been here before. During early fall 2020, community transmission was low until, then, it wasn’t,” Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer shared with LA Times. “Last winter was brutal, and given the unpredictability of the virus and the variants, we need to accelerate the pace of vaccinations since this is the most effective tool we have to prevent another deadly surge.”
This mandate would be less strict than the previous mandate in September, but now starting October 7th customers and employees must have at least one dose and must receive their second shot by November 4th.
