COVID-19 update; Wednesday, May 13
Summary
•As you likely know by now, Los Angeles County health officials have extended safer-at-home orders indefinitely — but are also allowing thousands of businesses to reopen with restrictions. Please use transit for essential travel: Riders on Metro buses and trains are now required to wear face coverings with an exception for those with certain health conditions or disabilities. On that note, I was out taking photos on Sunset, Vermont, Wilshire and Western on Tuesday and the vast majority of riders had face coverings. From Sky News: •There are now two motions by L.A. City Council Members on how to make more telecommuting more permanent (hat tip to Streetsblog LA for tracking this!). •Major League Baseball wants to begin the season in early July but that will require permission from the state of California – which hasn’t happened yet, reports the LAT.
