According to Mayor Eric Garcetti, Los Angeles will not fully reopen until there is a cure for COVID-19. During an interview Wednesday morning, Garcetti said city residents need to understand that “we aren’t moving beyond COVID-19, we’re learning to live with it.”
City officials are reportedly weighing a decision to extended the lockdown order for an additional three months.
The mayor has urged everyone to avoid “overreacting,” but also encouraged residents to “take this seriously.”
“We’ve never been fully closed and we’ll never be fully open until we have a cure, but I do believe that we can take steps,” stated Garcetti. “Monitor those numbers, listen to the scientists and the medical professionals, and make the tough calls, even when there is criticism.”

Garcetti’s announcement comes as Los Angeles County’s stay-home order is likely to be extended by three months, Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer said Tuesday. Speaking to ABC Good Morning America, Garcetti said Los Angeles won’t fully reopen until there is a “cure” for the coronavirus, which has infected 33,180 people in the city and killed 1,613, according to data tracked by Johns Hopkins University.
“We’ve never been fully closed, we’ll never be completely open until we have a cure. But I do believe that we can take steps, but monitor those numbers, listen to the scientists and the medical professionals, and make the tough calls even when there’s criticism,” he told host George Stephanopoulos.
Earlier Wednesday, several Los Angeles area beaches reopened with restrictions such as social distancing of six feet and masks. Beachgoers are prohibited from social gatherings and suntanning.
