During this time of adjustments in social events, work schedules, and travel, we encourage you to remember our many small businesses in Westwood Village and to continue supporting them even if you cannot visit them physically.
Let’s all do our part to help our wonderful local businesses during this time of uncertainty. There are several ways you can continue to support our local Westwood Village businesses during this time, here are some ideas:
- Purchase gift cards to use at a later date
- E-shop locally — many little businesses in Westwood Village have some merchandise available online
- Reschedule non-essential appointments for a later date instead of cancelling
- Order delivery or curbside takeout and be generous when tipping
- Help spread the word by going online to leave a good review
- Remember, when you shop and dine local, even remotely, you invest locally.
- For a full list of Westwood Village businesses that offer delivery & takeout, visit: www.thewestwoodvillage.com/directory.

The State of California has lifted the Regional Stay Home Order and moved all counties back into the Blueprint for a Safer Economy color-coded tiers. Los Angeles County, along with the majority of the State, is in the most restrictive purple tier.
With the lifting of the Regional Stay Home Order, the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order that was issued on Nov. 25 is now in effect until a new Health Officer Order is issued later this week to more fully align with the sector openings permitted in the purple tier.
The following is allowed starting today with adherence to all of the sector-specific directives to ensure distancing, wearing of face coverings, and infection control:
Residents are advised to stay home as much as possible and always wear a face-covering over their nose and mouth when they are outside their household and around others.

Cloth face coverings are REQUIRED for employees when they are around other employees or the public, and for the public when visiting essential businesses. But they are NOT a substitute for Physical Distancing and frequent hand washing. Cotton and other breathable fabrics are a good choice. Wash daily and replace face coverings with holes, tears, or if they do not stay on your face.
Now more than ever, it’s on all of us to practice Physical Distancing. Please only leave your home for essential services. Follow the Safer At Home Order and Stay Home. Get more info here: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/coronavirus/
