Update From Los Angeles Mayor Garcetti Re Cover-19

  By , , , ,

I want to share a few updates on our actions to protect our city in the midst of this crisis. Please share all of this information with your family and friends. 

Across Los Angeles, we just finished up our second weekend staying safer at home. By keeping our distance and changing up our normal routines, millions of us made the choice to do right by our neighbors, our seniors, our loved ones, and our own health. Believe me when I tell you: that decision will save lives.

From the very start of the COVID-19 crisis, we have poured everything we have into our response. Keeping vital services up and running. Strengthening our health care system. Supporting the Angelenos hardest hit by the economic blow from this emergency.

You can continue to find updates and resources at Coronavirus.LACity.org, and make sure you’re signed up for notifications from the City at NotifyLA.org.
