(Sept. 2, 2020, 8:50 p.m.) -- The LA County Dept of Public Health (LACDPH) has announced (Sept. 2) it will allow K-12 schools to [LADPH text] "offer in-school services for a small cohort of students with Individualized Education Plans, students requiring instruction for English as a Second Language or students needing assessments or specialized in-school services, as long as the school is able to fully implement the Health Officer’s reopening protocols. This will get children who are in the most need of in-person learning back into their classrooms. We will not be opening the waiver program for instruction of students in grades TK-6 as we monitor the implementation of this effort to safely get students needing specialized in-school services back at school."

LBUSD (likely management) will decide whether to allow it, and if so on what terms, in Long Beach. LBUSD and TALB [Teachers Ass'n of LB] recently agreed to an MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] governing the terms on which teachers will teach under COVID19 conditions. The TALB-LBUSD MOU allows teachers some flexibility in COVID-related remote teaching. CESA [representing other school campus staff) is currently negotiating its own MOU with LBUSD management on COVID19 workplace rules.

In the same Sept. 2 announcement, LACDPH said it will allow hair salons and barbershops can to re-open for indoor services at 25% occupancy provided they are in full compliance with the Health Officer’s protocols. Long Beach echoes that stance with these local requirements. Hair salons and barbershops must adhere to safety guidelines, including:

Operating at a maximum of 25% capacity.

Continuing to operate outdoors to the extent feasible.

Ensuring physical distancing measures.

Ensuring everyone is wearing cloth face coverings while in the salon or barbershop.

Clients should wear face coverings with ear loops to ensure that face coverings can be worn throughout the hair service.

Establishing an outdoor reception area where customers can check in.

Using barriers (such as plexiglass) at reception areas or other areas where physical distancing cannot be maintained in order to minimize exposure between workers and customers.

Staggering appointments to reduce reception congestion and to ensure adequate time for proper cleaning and sanitation between each customer visit.

Walk-in appointments will not be available.

Serving only one client at a time.

Encouraging the use of credit cards and contactless payment systems.

If electronic or card payment is not possible, customers should come with exact cash payment or check, if available.

Magazines, coffee and other amenities will not be available. Other personal grooming businesses, such as nail salons and spa services, including massage, facials and waxing are still prohibited.
