Los Angeles is the only county in California to have banned outdoor dining at restaurants. The ban went into effect on Nov. 25 and will remain in place for at least three weeks. Restaurant owners still holding on after months of restrictions worry it’s enough to put them out of business.

The announcement came days before Thanksgiving in response to a record-spike in COVID-19 cases over a 5-day period in the county.
