The move allows the county to marshal more resources in its fight against the spread of COVID-19, and comes with more stringent guidelines for personal contract and businesses.
Supervisor Kathryn Barger said the county’s declaration of a local emergency was taken “out of abundance of caution.”“This is not a response rooted in panic,” she said in a news conference that included Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. She said the move “will facilitate our efforts to coordinate with all our partners and jointly implement effective strategies to protect our residents.”
