Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Announces Crackdown On Coronavirus Violations: “If We Don’t Make These Decisions Now…We Will Almost Certainly Have To Shut Things Down Again”
“The situation in L.A. is more concerning than it’s ever been,” said Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti on Monday. “Right now is the toughest moment we have faced. And we’re entering an even more dangerous time. We have no reason to believe that the worst-case scenario can’t happen here in our city and county.
“This is a different kind of moment,” said Garcetti, “a new level of danger. And if we don’t make these decisions now, there really is one outcome: We will almost certainly have to shut things down again.”
To try and prevent that, the mayor announced that the city will ramp up enforcement of the county’s current public health rules. “I have directed city departments to expand enforcement efforts for business that are still not in compliance with our public health protocols,” announced Garcetti. “And we will issue citations…and revoke permits for businesses who violate our requirements and put all of us at risk.”
