LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance Oct. 6 requiring people to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination before entering indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, shopping centers, entertainment venues, and personal care establishments.
The ordinance passed 11–2, with Councilmen Joe Buscaino and John Lee dissenting. Two members were absent from the vote. Because the ordinance didn’t receive 12 votes, the ordinance won’t go into effect until one month after its publication, or at least Nov. 6. The ordinance was originally expected to take effect on Nov. 4.
