On Wednesday, the city released a set of restrictions that mirrors the county.
But Thurs, Gov. Newson announced stricter rules for all regions where ICU capacity falls below 15%.
SoCal isn’t there yet -- we’re at 20.6% -- but we will likely be very soon. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-03/newsom-weighs-shutdown-california-covid-19-cases-soar-december

Once a region dips below 15% ICU capacity it will have to close personal care services, like nail salons and barbershops, and overnight stays at campgrounds.
All stores -- essential and nonessential alike -- will have to reduce capacity to 20%. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-12-03/new-california-covid-19-stay-at-home-order-what-to-know

This means that nonessential retail stores in LA will continue the same as they are now.
