"To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, I’m taking executive action to temporarily close bars, nightclubs, restaurants (except takeout/delivery), entertainment venues, and other establishments in the city of Los Angeles. These orders go into effect at midnight tonight and will stay in place until March 31 unless extended. There is no food shortage and grocery stores will remain open. We’re taking these steps to help protect Angelenos, limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, and avoid putting a dangerous strain on our health care system.
 

This will be a tough time, but it is not forever. Angelenos have always risen to meet difficult moments, and we will get through this together."

Keeping You Safe is Our Priority

Like all Angelenos, we are facing the challenges of a quickly changing landscape in response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). As always, the health and safety of our patrons and staff is our priority. We are in constant communication with other city departments, local officials and health authorities.
 

You can stay updated on the library here on our website and following our social media accounts @lapubliclibrary.

Once again, your health and safety is of utmost importance, and we will evaluate and adjust as new information becomes available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your continued understanding and support.

Dear Stakeholders,

With the global spread of COVID-19, more commonly known as the Corona Virus, the City of Los Angeles has taken a number of steps to control the spread of the outbreak and to protect our community. The MVCC Board of Directors supports those efforts so, in compliance with Mayor Garcetti’s directive, entitled “COVID-19 City Guidelines,” all MVCC board, committee, alliance, and liaison meetings - as well as all other NC-related events - are suspended through March 31, 2020.

Please be safe during this time by taking common-sense measures such as frequent hand washing and avoidance of close personal content. For additional steps and more detailed information, please visit the CDC's Corona Virus page at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

Regards,

Elliot Hanna, Chairman
Mar Vista Community Council

The Los Angeles Police Department has identified its first confirmed case of COVID-19 involving a uniformed supervisor with symptoms around March 5th. The supervisor's condition is already improving and he is expected to make a full recovery. Thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the involved employee's work area at the Pacific Division should be completed by the end of the day.

At this point, no other personnel from Pacific Division have experienced symptoms or been isolated.
