Putting these measures in place is necessary for the protection of life and property in Redondo Beach and throughout Los Angeles County. The intention of these actions is to help safeguard the community and to limit the prevalence of COVID-19 in our area.

By decreasing the prevalence of COVID-19 we will:

• Reduce the spread of COVID-19 before an effective treatment or vaccine is available.
• Protect those most likely to experience severe symptoms, such as older individuals and those with underlying chronic conditions.
• Minimize the social and economic impacts of COVID-19 over the long run.

As a reminder, in order to reduce the risk of spreading illnesses, it is recommended that each person:

• Stay home if sick or need to care for a sick family member.
• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid touching eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Cover mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing using a tissue or sleeve (not hands).
• Clean and disinfect objects and surfaces often.

Individuals are encouraged to follow the guidelines of the Los Angeles County Health Department, the California Department of Public Health, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
