The City of West Hollywood will post updates on weho.org and the City encourages community members to follow @wehocity on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and turn on notifications for up-to-date information regarding details in the City of West Hollywood.

Further, we are following state mandates. Today, Governor Newsom has directed the following (per the Sacramento Bee):

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday issued sweeping new restrictions in California, calling for home isolation of everyone in the state over age 65 and people with chronic disease, both high-risk populations.

He also asked for closure of bars, wineries, night clubs and brew pubs, and called for restaurants to reduce their occupancy by half. He called that “deep social distancing” and a “pragmatic response to the moment.”

The governor said restaurants can continue to operate; however, onsite at reduced capacity, and with curbside food service and at-home food deliveries.
