Los Angeles County has officially extended the Safer at Home order through May 15, the L.A. County Department of Public Health revealed Friday at a press briefing held at the Board of Supervisors headquarters in Downtown Los Angeles.
The decision to extend is the result of an effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. In accordance with the order, Dr.
Barbara Ferrer said that people must continue to remain indoors except for essential activities such as grocery shopping, obtaining medical supplies and exercising.
Social distancing guidelines remain in place. All non-essential businesses will remain closed, along with beaches, walking trails and parks.
