Breaking: LA County Public Health will issue a health order this week requiring proof of vaccination or a neg test for outdoor events with 10K people or more. It also requires proof of vax for indoor bars, nightclubs, & lounges. It strongly recommends doing so for restaurants. 
Dr. Barbara Ferrer says that the health order will be issued by Friday and will go into effect on Oct. 7.
On the narrowness of the order, Ferrer says that health inspectors have reported that bars, clubs, & lounges have very low levels of masking with close proximity of patrons.
She adds that bars/clubs/lounges already have the staffing in place to check vaccine status. “Everybody already has to show their ID,” she says.
Supervisor Kuehl raises the question about what happens with theme parks and venues that have already sold tickets after the oct 7 deadline. Ferrer says she will get back to board after meeting with stakeholders, but suggests onsite testing as solution.
The proposal is filled and received without objection
