Customers who have no proof of vaccination, exemption or negative test can still enter briefly to use the restroom or pick up a takeout order, according to the ordinance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ordinance states: \u201cA Covered Location shall require Proof of Vaccination upon the Patron\u2019s first in-person interaction with staff. A Covered Location is required to cross-check Proof of Vaccination for each Patron who appears to be 18 years of age or older against Photo Identification.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" readability=\"6.5642201834862\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here\u2019s the ordinance.

City Council President Nury Martinez, a Democrat, in a recent statement. \u201cWe need to both limit the transmission of the virus as well as make it inconvenient for those who are unvaccinated to access indoor venues and put lives at jeopardy. The stakes are too high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/health\/la-city-council-approves-covid-vaccine-mandate-for-indoor-spaces\/11089189\/\">According<\/a> to City News Service, Democratic Councilmen Bob Blumenfield, Mike Bonin and Paul Krekorian \u201cexpressed concern about details in the ordinance in the past, including lack of enforcement, but noted that it was imperative that the requirement goes into effect quickly, and that the details can be fixed later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Councilman Krekorian said last week, \u201cNothing in this ordinance requires you to go and get vaccinated at all,\u201d per The Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have rights. You have liberties,\u201d he said. \u201cBut with those rights and liberties come obligations to protect fellow members of your society as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ordinance includes escalating penalties for businesses that do not comply, starting with a warning, then a $1,000 fine for the second offense, and a $5,000 punishment for a fourth or subsequent violation. The penalties will be enforced by the Department of Public Health and the Department of Building and Safety beginning on November 29, four days after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n<p>The policy will remain in effect until the Declaration of Emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic declared by Garcetti last year is lifted.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
