The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday to pass an ordinance that, as of Nov. 4, will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter restaurants, movie theaters and many other private businesses.
The mandate adds to the health order passed on Sept. 17 that requires bars, lounges, breweries, wineries and nightclubs to ensure their patrons show proof of at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by Oct. 7 and full vaccination by Nov. 4. The Sept. 17 ordinance also stated that organizers of mega events with over 10,000 attendees must require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test.
Now, the businesses that must require vaccines also include restaurants of any kind (fast food establishments, coffee shops, tasting rooms, cafeterias), gyms and fitness venues, entertainment venues (movie theaters, shopping centers, concert and performance venues, sports arenas, museums, arcades) and personal care establishments (spas, nail salons, hair salons, tanning salons, estheticians, skin care, tattoo shops).

Due to the ordinances urgency clause, the ordinance needed 12 yes votes upon its second consideration to pass with urgency today, not the normal eight votes. Since only the eight vote threshold was achieved the measure, which was to apply November 4, takes effect in the normal time frame, which is one month from publication, or November 6.
