L.A. County Reviews
New State Guidelines
Stage 3 of Roadmap to Recovery
|
|
Los Angeles County is reviewing new guidelines from the State of California that could move LA County into Stage 3 of the Roadmap to Recovery and permit the reopening of key sectors including schools, day camps, museums, entertainment industry production, camping and spectator-free sporting events — as early as June 12.
The Department of Public Health will review the newly issued state guidance, evaluate the County’s COVID-19 metrics and data and consult with the Board of Supervisors to determine how sectors can re-open with safeguards and directives in place to ensure essential physical distancing and infection control.
At this time, Los Angeles County is still under a
Safer At Work and In The Community Order.
Public and private gatherings of people outside of a single household unit are not permitted except for public protests and faith-based services with limited numbers of participants.
Everyone needs to continue to follow physical distancing and infection control protocols and wear a cloth face covering when in contact with others not in your household.
At this time,
still closed
are:
- Nail salons
- Tattoo shops
- Gyms and fitness centers
- Campgrounds
- Entertainment venues including arcades, bowling alleys, movie theaters, live performance theaters, concert halls, stadiums, arenas, theme parks, gaming facilities and festivals
- Brewpubs, breweries, bars, pubs, craft distilleries, and wineries that do not offer sit-down, dine-in meals
- Indoor museums, galleries and zoos
The plans for reopening are part of a phased progression that provides employees, customers and residents with safety protections to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Eaton Canyon Natural Area and Trail with Free Timed Entry Reservations
|
|
Timed entry reservations are required for entrance to Eaton Canyon Natural Area and access to the trail system. Timed entry reservations are free and available online through the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation (LA County Parks).
Reservations will help keep the Eaton Canyon trails from becoming overcrowded and allow enough space for trail users to maintain physical distancing of six feet, in accordance with current COVID-19 restrictions. In May, an overwhelming influx of visitors not adhering to the requirements for face coverings and physical distancing forced the closure of the Eaton Canyon Natural Area.
Timed entry reservations are available for 3-hour increments. Each time slot is limited to 85 reservations to prevent overcrowding.
- 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.
- 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
- 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Visitors will need to log in or create a free account on the website in order to complete the timed entry reservation.
Reservations must be made the day before your visit. No same-day reservations allowed.
Each reservation will allow entry for
one vehicle or up to four people walking in and should be limited to members of the same household to prevent the spread of COVID-19
. The main entrance to Eaton Canyon Natural Area, located at 1750 North Altadena Drive, Pasadena, CA, 91107, will be the only point of entry open at this time.
Trail visitors will need to show proof of their reservation (either on mobile device or printout) and photo identification at the entrance. No entry or waiting at the entrance will be permitted without a reservation.
Trail visitors must adhere to the follow the requirements when visiting Eaton Canyon Natural Area and all natural areas and trails within Los Angeles County:
- Leave it at Home – The use of coolers, umbrellas, shade tents, BBQs, or chairs is not allowed. Plan ahead.
- Keep it Moving – Passive recreation (lounging, picnics, sunbathing, etc.) is being restricted. Only active recreation (hiking, walking, running, etc.) will be allowed. Limit your time to under 10 minutes at destination spots.
- Stay Safer at 6ft -- No matter the recreational activity, maintain a physical distance of six feet or more. Masks that cover nose, mouth, and chin are required in buildings, parking lots, trailheads, when passing people on the trails, and at destination spots. Visitors may be asked to leave if there are too many people to allow for the required physical distance.
- Keep it Clean – Be prepared. Not all restrooms are open to the public. Bring drinking water, soap/sanitizer, and pack out all trash.
For the complete list of COVID-19 guidelines and more information on reopening efforts and other changes, visit the LA County Parks.

Safer at Work
and in the Community
|
|
On Tuesday, May 26, 2020 Los Angeles County reworked the
Safer at Home Order
to what is now the
Safer at Work and in the Community Order
. The Order is issued to align the County with State Executive Orders and State Health Orders that support the phased reopening of the California Pandemic Resilience Roadmap. The Order will be revised in the future to reflect the State Executive Orders and State Public Health Officer Orders that progressively designate sectors, businesses, establishments, or activities that may reopen with certain modifications, based on health and safety needs.
This Order allows persons to engage in all permitted activities, as defined by the Order, but requires that persons practice Social Distancing, at all times while out in public and wear face covering when in contact with others, to lower the risks of person-to-person contact for themselves and others.
