Guidance For Retail Business Owners & Incident Report

The City of Rosemead is reopening City Hall to the public for services only for essential activities. This comes in response to the revised Safer at Home order issued by Los Angeles County on May 13, 2020. These include building permits, inspections and planning related services. City Hall will open on Monday, June 1, 2020, from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for walk-ins and from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. by appointment only. In an effort to protect the health and safety of the public and employees when conducting City business in a public setting, please take the following precautions recommended by the County of Los Angeles and State Public Health Orders:

  • Must wear a face cover, if you do not have one, one will be provided to you;
  • Must practice social distancing by using the floor markers as guidance;
  • Must wear gloves, wash hands or sanitize after touching communal areas; and
  • You will be subject to temperature checks when entering City facilities.

On May 26, 2020, the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health announced a revised Order, which allows to resume faith-based services, in-store shopping at low-risk retail stores, drive-in movies and other recreational activities. The following are highlights from today's Order, to be issued by LA County's Department of Public Health (DPH), which emphasizes physical distancing requirements, cloth face coverings and other safety protocols must be observed:

  • Faith-Based Organizations: Faith-based organizations may resume services, with the number of congregants limited to less than 25% of the building's capacity, or a maximum of 100 people, whichever is lower.
  • Indoor & Outdoor Retail Shopping Centers: All indoor and outdoor retail shopping centers may now open for business at 50% capacity.
  • Flea Markets, Swap Meets & Drive-Ins: All flea markets, swap meets, and drive-in movie theaters may also resume operations.
  • Pools, Hot Tubs, and Saunas: Pools, hot tubs, and saunas that are in a multi-unit residence or part of a homeowner’s association may also now open.
  • Public Protests: Individuals may participate in an in-person protest as long as attendance is limited to 25% of the area's maximum occupancy, or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower.

County residents may participate in all-permitted activities while practicing physical distancing and wearing a cloth face covering when in contact with others. You are still encouraged to remain in your residences, as much as practical, and limit close contact with others outside your household (both indoor and outdoor).

Gatherings of people not from the same household are still prohibited, except for faith-based services and in-person protests.
