L.A. County is reporting an average of 3,362 coronavirus cases a day. If that rate hits 4,000 cases a day — which could happen in a matter of days — county officials say they’ll order an end to outdoor dining and require eateries to serve food only by delivery or takeout.
If the county average jumps to 4,500 a day, authorities warn they’ll order a stay-at-home order, which would allow only essential and emergency workers and those securing essential services to leave their homes. latimes.com/california/sto…
