A city of Los Angeles mandate requiring patrons to show proof of Covid-19 vaccination to enter many indoor establishments and large outdoor events is finally being eliminated, with the City Council giving approval today to an ordinance scrapping the requirement.
The decision comes weeks after the state and county decided to do the same.The council voted 13-1, with Councilman Mike Bonin dissenting, to lift the vaccination mandate.
The measure passed with an urgency clause, meaning it will take effect as soon as Mayor Eric Garcetti signs the measure and it is formally published by the City Clerk’s Office.
It is unclear how long that will take, but it could be as soon as Friday, when the county’s vaccination requirements officially lift.Without the urgency clause, the city measure would have remained in effect for another 30 days.The city mandate requires people over age 12 to show proof of vaccination before patronizing indoor restaurants, gyms, entertainment and recreational facilities, personal care establishments and some city buildings.
