Gyms, Salons, Places Of Worship Closed For Three Days In L.A. County By Governor Newsom

Gyms, Salons, Places Of Worship Closed For Indoor Operations In L.A. County By Governor Newsom

During Governor Gavin Newsom’s Monday COVID-19 update, it was announced that gyms, salons and places of worship are to close again in Los Angeles County.

Select monitored counties, including Los Angeles County, are to cease indoor operations in fitness centers, places of worship, offices for non-critical sectors, personal care services, hair salons, barbershops and malls, according to the Governor’s office.

Statewide operations to close include:

  • Dine-in restaurants
  • Wineries and tasting rooms
  • Movie theaters
  • Family entertainment centers
  • Zoos and museums
  • Cardrooms
  • Bars must close all operations

Bars, gyms and movie theaters were first closed in L.A. County back in March, according to the state. 

Gyms were later reopened in June, before closing once again Monday. 

 On July 1, Newsom announced that all restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, movie theatres, family entertainment centers, zoos, museums and cardrooms would have to cease indoor operations “effective immediately” in 19 different counties in California, including Los Angeles County.

Indoor operations for restaurants, entertainment centers and other businesses were closed in California by Governor Gavin Newsom for at least three weeks amid coronavirus spikes, officials said.

“We have specifically targeted our efforts to close indoor operations, and I want to reinforce this,” Newsom said during a conference.

These businesses listed by Newsom are still able to operate outdoors, according to the state.

Additionally, all bars within Los Angeles County are to cease all operations effective immediately, according to Newsom.

The governor said that these closures are expected to remain in place for at least three weeks.

These closures are set to be enforced by “Enforcement Strike Teams,” who are set to target non-compliant workplaces. The teams are set to be comprised of members from Alcoholic Beverage Control, California’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Business Oversight and the California Highway Patrol.

  1. Can someone shut Newsom down?

  2. Who believes that this will only be 3 days?

    • Just a lead out. Start with 3 days then a week than a month. Back to lockdown

      • This is not a lockdown nor have we ever been in a lockdown. This is a stay at home/Quarantine, a lockdown is a whole different can of worms! You’re able to leave your house, you’re able to go to the store, you’re able to go on a walk, you’re able to go ride a bike not being escorted to the doctors or to the market by a police officer! BIG DIFFERENCE! So shut up and wear a mask!

    • After 3 days, they will decide how long they will remain closed and it seems accordingly to this article 3 weeks will probably be the duration.

    • It’s 3 weeks, not 3 days

  3. But keep your crap open Newsom… way to go you gel headed liar. this has turned into a unbelievable game of guess who or i’m just gonna do this today. Newsom please vacate this state and go play paddy cake with your loonie auntie.
    if you are afraid stay home. look how many people are at the parks, skate park grocery stores, Lowes etc. everyone is touching everything, then you touch it. life must go on, Yes i feel sad for loss of loved ones but this has become way out of hand.

    • You shouldn’t said that!!!
      Take it seriously!
      Peoples lost their love one , suffering with COVID!

    • Shame on you. This is for everyone safety. Newsome dosen’t enjoy this anymore rhan you or i. I would like to see you deal with the pressure of trying to deal with this. He is calm, decisive a d makes sense. Dor you to attack his family, shame on you. You are nothing more than a bully.

      I believe in this man and supporting him . He has our best interest at heart.. gorow up.

  4. Someone needs to shut Newsom down

  5. What good is closing all of these businesses for three days going to do?

    • Learn to read. Three weeks not three days.

      “ Indoor operations for restaurants, entertainment centers and other businesses were closed in California by Governor Gavin Newsom for at least three weeks amid coronavirus spikes, officials said.”

      • Lighten up, “D”, Tom reads just fine as do I. When I read this article earlier it clearly read Three Days. I remember this because I had the exact same reaction as Tom.

        It would be nice if when a correction is made, to say “Correction” and say what was corrected. That would keep commenters from making a fool of themselves due to wrong information being reported.

    • When asked if the NEW closure order included protests Newsom said,
      “We have a framework around protests,”
      Indicating that the new restrictions would prohibit indoor protesting, but not outdoor gatherings of “that” type.

    • Why don’t all of you just shut up and stay home, take it as an extended vacation enjoy yourself and take care of you and your family, well survive a year without gyms

  6. The article initially did state closed for 3 days but was corrected to 3 weeks.

  7. Is Governor Newsom closing his Plumpjack Winery that he owns? Probably not. Cannot believe anything that jack ass
    spews out along with “Dr Fausi” contradictions. This “Virus” has become a fearmongering tactic and highly political.

    • Don’t blame him for this mess, there has been NO Federal leadership from day one. Trump FAILED all the states and continues to abdicate his sworn duty to serve all AMERICANS. Newsom did what he could, then all you Covidiots demanded we re-open because you needed mani/pedis, wine, haircuts, and the mall. All of you who protested CA re-open too soon are also to blame for this fiasco. If you truly cared about the economy, our children, our country then YOU should have sucked it up like those in NY/NJ did and remain in lockdown. But no, your short-sighted selfishness and refusal to believe in science brought us here NOW.

      You can try to blame BLM protests, but answer me this; Protesters were out marching in mass in NY/NJ, they too were calling for justice in the the murder of George Floyd, so why aren’t we seeing a surge in cases there? The answer is simple those two states remained in lockdown weeks longer than we did, their citizens wear masks, they did NOT open bars, churches, gyms and indoor dining too soon. FACT

      • Thank you, Alice! The people speaking which are a lot of young people just want to have fun and go back to normal. There is no normal about this virus! NY has had core shut downs. They finally had one day without people dying. We need to realize trump knew about this Jan. 3rd and once again felt he KNOWS more than anyone. He deflects to other issues to incite people and they forget what a mess he made. So far the federal govt. has done very little re: the virus. Hospitals are struggling, the drs. & nurses would love to see their kids. Those of you belly aching, snap out of it. We want to cure this virus, not live it, because in spite of what the moron in office says, IT IS NOT GOING AWAY! Those recovering are left with debilitating disabilities and now damage to the hearts are showing up on survivors. We should have shut our nation down on Jan. 3rd. Now we have a long road ahead of us.

      • Great Words!!!! Its not Newson its the virus and people’s ignorance

    • Completely agree on the fear comment. 99% of the entire human population is unaffected, so why are we taking continued damaging measures against our economy and way of life. Yes I want to go to the gym, just as you want to stay home, go grocery shopping, see a play or sporting event. Yet more over I want my friends and neighbors as well as every American citizen to have a job and not rely on unemployment and other pubic services. So yes Gov. Newsom needs to stop shutting s**t down. If you are at risk, stay home. Enforce mask and keep it moving.

      Stop being afraid to live, when only 1% of the world’s population is being affected and most of the people with it are asymptomatic. So much less than 1% is even dying. Use your brain ppl.

  8. What about California’s national parks?

    • Welp, Yosemite had absolutely NO virus in the area, but the other day, they tested sewage there, and sure enough, there it was! So now like a dozen people now quarantined! No matter where you are, there you are, and there it IS!

  9. Just like AOC and the squad joystick the left aunt Nancy makes sure Gavin remembers its Northern California that controls the state.

  10. Recall Newsom!

    In addition to this b.s., only s P.O.S Leftist such as Newsom would give illegal immigrants stimulus paychecks from COVID-19. Just like putting capital punishment on hold, he gave the illegals our money without voter approval. I have neighbors who are immigrants and they had to wait a while, but through the LEGAL process they eventually became American citizens, and God bless them.

    In the meantime, Newsom will “talk Left, but continue to live Right” with his children in private school, living behind walls, he supports defunding the police, while he has a personal security detail. What a phony.

  11. Again NUMBERS don’t lie….the left is allergic to facts and gravitate to fear…it’s their bias. Then they attack…it’s their go to control to unseat the insecure…and they’re desperate to hang on to that controls….hence shaming and guilting those who don’t march to the beat of their “fake news” non-facts.

    If they’re so loving and virtuous caring for the greater good of ALL then perhaps they can start listening to people beyond Rachel, Lemon, NPR, Oprah, And GEORGE news sources….all naked emperor’s and out of fashion…like Gavin…severely behind those who are avant-garde … shaming those who don’t think like you simply signals you can’t Defend your position

  12. For those of you “shocked and worried” about the increase in number of cases – please go to the LA County website and research this yourself. We’re seeing an increase in cases because they are increasing testing. This should not surprise anyone who understands statistics (or basic common sense). Heres the link, under testing click on the box titled “What This Means”: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/data/index.htm#info-testing

    The County literally has to tell people that they expect case increase because od testing increase… Duh

    Yes, Newsome has got to go.

    • You are incorrect claiming that more tests are the reason for this surge because the data does not bear this out. Simply put, the number of cases has increased more quickly than the number of tests, with the percentage of tests coming back positive—this is an indicator of the seriousness of an outbreak—rising 10, 15 and in some states 20%. The recommended positive rate is below 5%.

      In May and June when testing increased, cases plateaued nationwide, the positive rate fell across the country and the mandates to wear masks in public, socially distancing, washing hands frequently and staying home as much as possible worked. These restrictions and our compliance with them is what flattened the curve, contained the spread and saved countless lives.

      The surge we are experiencing now is directly related to the speed and rate in which many states began to relax these restrictions, re-open their economies and promote the idea that “normalcy” was restored; despite the fact that at the time, no state had reached the stage one benchmark needed to open safely. This recklessness coupled with many people growing frustrated and demanding to be “liberated” (from their own homes), political partisanship from the White House and a dangerous reluctance to accept the reality of this pandemic led us to this moment.

      It is possible to re-open slowly and safely, we have examples throughout Europe, New Zealand, South Korea, Spain and Italy as well as New York and New Jersey domestically. If those examples show us anything it is that we, all of us, must cooperate, put aside our selfishness and work towards a common goal; the welfare of our nation. We can do this right this time and get on with our lives, let’s all do what is needed and make it so.

    • You’re right, Jim and Pax, basic math is not a skill set taught in schools anymore, and now we know why…keeps people dumb, useful idiots. Cases don’t matter, it’s deaths that matter and the more that cases go up and deaths don’t, they need to come up with a different narrative because the mortality keeps getting lower and lower. This is why you always hear/read about “cases, cases, cases”. The left’s narrative depends on the people who can’t do a simple fraction to keep them in business. Do you remember when it was “flatten the curve”? Now, since that has been accomplished and to keep control, it must be “no cases”. Democrats, you’d better wake up because Newsom’s ego and pride are ensuring a red wave come November.

    • Here’s a shocker and something for YOU to worry about! Betcha in 2024 Newsome and/or Garcetti will run for President! Woo-Hoo! …….and just for your information, there’s NO worries about any red wave in November! LOL! Stick a fork in the orange pumpkin——-he’s DONE! LMAO!

  13. Targeted Protection is the only path forward

  14. El Newsom esta LOCO!! He listens to Auntie P who is also a crazy old lady too. Remember Newsome is letting 8,000 prisoners out soon and will be in your neighborhoods along with thousands of illegal aliens being welcome into our state, courtesy of your governor and Pelosi. Talk about Gruesome serving AMERICANS, This thought has to be in your Demoncrat mind!!! President Trump is doing an excellent job on the economy, Corona Virus , Protesters, etc…,despite all the crap he’s been thrown from the evil side. Wake up Democrats and save your once beautiful state. Vote RED
    and President Trump who can save use us from all the insanity going on. It can only get worse voting for senile Biden.

  15. The majority of deaths are in skilled nursing homes and jails, they aren’t in restaurants and bars. He’s on a power trip – Recall !!!

    • People don’t live in restaurants and bars, so of course there aren’t many deaths at these places. If you’re suggesting that nursing homes and nails should be closed down instead of bars and restaurants I don’t see how that would be possible. Also, it would seem that you, like many commenters, are focusing on deaths. This virus has been shown to cause an array of serious problems that don’t always mean death but that are extremely impactful nonetheless. Additionally, it is important for us to work together to prevent spread to the vulnerable members of our community who are more likely to die from the virus.

  16. Not my president, he’s Putin’s bitch and you’re his. FACT

  17. Like him or don’t, appreciate his efforts or not, our governor has done more to try to protect us than any other in the nation. If he had an R rather than a D after his name you’d all be swooning over him the way you do the worthless lying denying, buck-passing president we have for another five months. What I see in these comments is the power of the right-wing propaganda machine. You sound about as smart as dogs barking through a fence when you break out crap like fake news or president Trump is doing an excellent job-ugh, how stupid a statement is that?! He was holding rallies and playing golf in Jan., Feb. and March when he should have been focused on the pandemic headed our way. But no, he dismissed it as a hoax / fake news and now we are all paying for his neglect and incompetence.

  18. So protests can basically go unchecked when there are few wearing masks, yelling, chanting and screaming. No social distancing and attendees then are free to contaminate the rest of us. Meanwhile those following the strictly following all the guidelines including restaurants and gyms which BTW gyms even take temperatures before you enter even enforce wearing gloves and masks plus close lockers, pools and steam rooms must close! Governor you have no credibility. BTW those masks force us to re-inhale expelled carbon dioxide plus weaken our body’s immune system…nice! How about we listen to the expert on viruses and what they say! Yes to practicing safe health standards no to nonsense measures.

  19. Denny, you and Alice are the smartest people here! You both always make good points that are spot-on! Good, solid common sense, and speak the truth, with their facts STRAIGHT!

  20. All of you naysayers go visit a Covid unit in a hospital and then mouth off! It’s because of you people we are still in this horrific situation. It not going to end anytime in The future so get used to it. Go cry on the shoulder of the psycho president that refuses to do anything for what he created. When one of your loved o es dies maybe you will change you mind! Idiots!

    • Will the gym owners and their employees survive though? What anbout restaurant owners and their employees? What about people who need the gym to stay in shape and prolong their lives? Why are cigarettes OK?

  21. President Trump is the man to beat fart face Biden. Face it
    President Trump has had to endure stupid accusations, impeachment proceedings and never a day goes by that demonic power hungry radicals attack him. Now that is a man who deserves another 4 years as our President.
    He deserves all the golfing and rallies for all the bs demon rats have put him thru and he still survives. He will win in November and make your lives even more intolerable.
    God bless America and our beloved President!!!

  22. Pyscho President, huh Dana??
    President Trump did not create this so called virus. The hate you people have for this President is unconscionable. It is worse than the virus and the venom that you people spew
    Is far more deadly for everyone. Let’s see how you like living a Venezuelan life when our nation becomes a socialist country at the hands of not Sleepy Joe but the leftist radicals running the show.
    With our freedom taken away

  23. Relax Alice they named a classic after you “Go ask Alice”in the 60s.Spark one up and listen to it and expand your mind to other possibilities of how we got where we got. I’m certain Newsom spends more on hair care products a month than I spent on my last trip to Cabo.

  24. Affirmation again…leftist extremists reduce themselves to name calling because they REFUSE TO LOOK AT FACTS because they can’t see beyond themselves.

    Your actions and words don’t match up….you’re all HATER’S of anyone who doesn’t agree with you and through your MICRO-Aggressions like confetti hoping the insecure cave to your relativism and rhetoric…your ANGER shows your true selves…Gavin Newsom May be your little God who you believe is protecting you but in the end you’ll see you’re just a pawn in his power-trip. Ask him how many were infected last w/e at his winery?

    TRUMP 2020 because he doesn’t believe he is God but prays to God! And we will continue to shout over your non-facts until you can come to the table with FACTS…not magic

    • Trump doesn’t think he’s God?! LMAO!! You’re a fool, and the things you claim against dems are the exact things YOU DO! (…another example of waste of DNA and oxygen use, you are!) Go AWAY! ?

      • Got your goat Arn ….bingo! Thank you so very much. You’re an easy read ?
        Ad hominem attacks…so typical and exactly why the red tidal wave is coming…you’ll see ?
        We’re out here and we are no longer going to let you direct a false narrative …. entrepreneur’s blow your mind crazy with jealousy because we don’t need a charted map to live life free of “group think”. Wanna know what we think of what you think of us? We don’t care! Say what you want- we don’t care ?‍♂️ Sticks and stones….we’re resistant to conformists who want to dictate from the nanny state.

        Ironic because it’s always one of us preserving your freedom to bite the hand that protects your freedom to insult us. That’s ok because you’ll never know who I am on the street but know this, I’m a friend of yours.

        • My friend? What a joke! You don’t know me! I wouldn’t keep company like you around. You’re just another idiot with dog crap for brains! I don’t need to shut you up. November will do that on its own! And what a refreshing time that will be! You can go right back in your cave where you came from and take all your ignorance with you! Another waste of DNA and oxygen use, is all you are. I feel sorry for you.

          • Lizzie, please stop typing at the same time you’re kissing Newsom’s hiney. His butt is obviously hiding your keyboard because your spelling is atrocious.

  25. Standing on Solid Ground

    You are all missing the point. Stop. Just stop taking political sides and politicizing everything. ALL politicians and politics are useless. If this were not an election year the decisions made would be very different. Don’t fool yourself by hating some politician and hating another.
    Why don’t you all stop complaining and pointing fingers. Instead channel all that waisted energy to asking God for mercy and miraculously bring this to an end as quickly as it started.
    You’re fooling yourself by putting your faith in anyone other than Jesus Christ. That’s right I am advising the politically incorrect approach to these problems.
    Reach out to God and He will reach out to you. Ask in full faith for healing and be willing to accept His answer to your prayers.
    You think COVID is about a virus, about scientists, about politicians, about masks, about six feet(who came up with that figure anyway?).
    It’s not about human beings saving ourselves. This is the first of many wakeup calls coming our way. Not to punish but to prod us to seek the only one who can help.
    I hope you give what I said some thought for your own good. I don’t lose anything by giving you this message. Its up to you whether you heed it, ignore it or hate me for writing it. I just thought it was time to speak some reality on this topic.

    • Why don’t you get g’damn real and L O O K at science since nothing else including religion has had favorable effect.
      We cannot deny it away.
      We cannot ignore it away.
      We cannot blame it away.
      we cannot pray it away.
      We need leadership and I see it only when people lay out the facts before them and question what is going on. Give people the truth and they will know what to do. But don’t start with an agenda and back-fill it with stories.

    • Standing on Solid Ground, you’ve got it! 100%! God bless you! Our days are numbered no matter what, but we are invincible until the day the Good Lord takes us home. Only He knows that day and we’d best not waste a single one in fear or worry. You can point out the sheep that have no faith, but that faith is not lost it’s simply placed on a false prophet. If we could just redirect the sheep to the Truth, Satan would lose this terrible COVID battle.

  26. We need to shut down Fools who do not wear masks and do not stay at home. He did best for everyone.

  27. Honeybadger is right – Targeted Protection is the only way forward. Overreaction is just plain dumb and ultimately destructive. For the whole close everything down crownd, if you actually think for yourself about a solution, you’ll realize that Targeted Protection is the only way. Thankfully for you, the right hasn’t caught on to it yet so you can still claim it as your own. Targeted Protection – Smart, planned, sensible, effective.

  28. Ppl don’t understand many loved ones have died. Family & friends have been sick. Telling me the Symptoms were so bad . They won’t wish it on their worst enemy. No way in hell am I sending my kids back to school. I will do online schooling. It’s not only wearing a mask but saying 6 feet apart. Nobody wants to stay home but we have no choice. The Governor is doing a good job . Unlike our President.

  29. Dear lord I pray that you help these people understand that you are the only one that can help us let them know that if we humble ourselves together as a nation and seek you, if we repent from our sins and turn to you, you will hear our cries and our prayers and heal our land just as your word says in Jesus name I pray amen.

  30. Research Microsoft patent, wo/2020/060606. This has nothing to do with a ‘virus.’ This is about the mark of the beast.

  31. The deaths rate in California is currently 2% and has been dropping daily for weeks!!!

    86% of all confirmed cases in LA county are asymptomatic!!……86%

  32. Asymptomatic but also able to spread the virus unknowingly; get it! They are more dangerous that way because they are vectors among us. What part of that equation is beyond your comprehension?

  33. I don’t understand why hair salons, nail salons and barbershops has to close. They already had strict rules for cleaning, etc., and with COVID-19 stricter rules. They take temperatures of everyone who enters the location, one person per stylist and no visitors, no extra seats. There are no crowds!!

  34. So much hate since 2016 election. Do we really want this divisiveness to continue?

    • Anne not really, why don’t you folks get off this thread, on and on, most of you regulars already have other thread going to spread your, you know what your spread’in.
      Night, Anne, Alice, Denny, Arn, Star P, and who can forget our newest collaborator Dana’s lovely comment, “It’s because of you people”
      Yah, that’s it.

  35. pshiett,
    Your response,“go away if you don’t agree with me “ is an example of the divisiveness I mentioned above. Very Trump-ish.

  36. Yep, Anne! Typical Pshit POS lowlife comment from the same lowlife Troll that he is……
