Anyone going to a shopping mall, theater, gym or nail salon in Los Angeles must now verify they are vaccinated against COVID-19
LOS ANGELES -- People entering a wide variety of businesses in the city of Los Angeles began having to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination on Monday as one of the country's strictest measures intended to slow spread of the coronavirus took effect.
The new rule covers businesses ranging from restaurants to shopping malls and theaters to nail and hair salons
At Blue Bottle Coffee in the Los Feliz neighborhood, a sign on the front door reminds patrons that they must show proof of vaccination if they want to eat indoors.
Manager Matthew Cadena said the morning rush was mostly smooth as customers handed over their vaccine cards or showed photos of them on their cellphones. Some patrons had put an image of their vaccine card on their phones’ home screen.
