(November 2e, 2020, 2:40 a.m.)-- As flashed on LBREPORT.com's Facebook page and LBREPORT.com's website front page, at early evening Sunday Nov. 22 -- just hours after L.A. County's Public Health Dept. announced a similar forthcoming action -- Long Beach Health Officer Dr, Anissa Davis announced that Long Beach will prohibit in-person dining in restaurants, breweries, wineries and bars effective Wednesday, November 25 at 10:00 p.m.

"As Long Beach has substantially similar data patterns to Los Angeles County with numbers currently at alarming levels, the City will be aligning with the County to prohibit in-person dining at restaurants, breweries, wineries and bars beginning Wednesday Nov. 25 for the next three weeks, at minimum, to slow the spread of transmission [of COVID-19] in Long Beach."

Dr. Davis' official statement included the following:

The unprecedented rise in in COVID-19 transmission rates locally, regionally and across the state is alarming in Long Beach, over the past two weeks the number of new cases has increased 200%. These increases are occurring dramatically faster than the first surge experienced during the height of the summer when we were seeing hundreds of new cases daily, overwhelming our ability to appropriately contact trace and threatening hospital capacity. With the upcoming holidays, officials are concerned that these numbers will continue to surge, similarly impacting hospitalization capacity.

As previously reported by LBREPORT.com, on Nov. 20 City of LB Health Officer Davis amended the LB's Safer at Home to parallel an LA County action imposing a 10 pm.-5 a.m. curfew "affecting all sectors, businesses and activities that are not designated an Essential Business, Essential Infrastructure or a Healthcare Operation. This includes: Lower-Risk Businesses (such as non-essential retail, limited services and activities, drive-in operations) and Higher-Risk Businesses (such as restaurants; gyms and fitness facilities; museums galleries and aquariums; personal services; nail salons; hair salons and barbershops; family entertainment centers)."

LB's Health Dept. said its curfew "does not prevent people from leaving their home, lodging or temporary accommodation between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. to engage in critical activities, such as going to work, grocery shopping or walking a dog, as long as they do not engage in any interaction with (or otherwise gather with) any number of persons from any other household..."
