The L.A. City Council will vote on an ordinance, Wednesday, where patrons may have to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 to enter restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and malls.

The ordinance was introduced by both Council President Nury Martinez and Councilman Mitch O'Farrell and could potentially be applied to all indoor facilities as soon as Nov. 4.

No one is forcing anyone to get vaccinated, but if you don't, there are certain things you will not be able to do without showing proof of vaccination, Martinez said in a Wednesday press conference. Angelenos deserve to see the other side of this pandemic. We deserve to walk around without wearing a mask, without restrictions and without fear.

Current county orders have already been applied to indoor and outdoor mega events, with indoor arenas requiring proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to enter events at Staples Center and other indoor music venues. The same applies for outdoor mega events such as Dodger games and concerts at the Hollywood Bowl.

This modified health officer order aligns with the continued need to reduce risk of transmission and increase vaccination coverage, Ferrer said of the county measures in a Sept. 15 Board of Supervisors meeting. This is a reasonable path forward that will position us to be better able to break the cycle of surges.

The daily COVID-19 positive cases and current hospitalizations have continually decreased in L.A. County, both falling under 1,000, as of Tuesday.
