  • Avoid Close Contact - staying further apart is safer than being close together.
• Wear a cloth face covering 
• Wash your hands often
• Avoid touching your face
• Avoid sharing food, drinks, toys, sports equipment
• Avoid, or clean, surfaces that are touched by others
• Increase ventilation - go outside, open windows

Face Coverings are Mandatory in Culver City

• Culver City requires and the State of California mandates that all persons must wear a clean, cloth face covering over both their nose and mouth whenever they leave their place of residence and are or can be in contact with or walking near or past others who are non-household members in both public and private places, whether indoors or outdoors. This includes wearing a cloth face covering when patronizing a business.   
• More information on cloth face coverings.
• The CDC provides instructions on its website for how to make several types of homemade face coverings, including from a t-shirt and a bandana without any sewing required. 

Face Coverings While Exercising

Many people have asked if they need to wear a cloth face covering while exercising (e.g., walking, biking, jogging) outdoors. Here are the short answers: 

• yes, when you are near others (anywhere close to 6 feet) and
• no, when there is no one around you.

County Public Health does not recommend wearing a covering over your nose and mouth when doing high intensity training, especially in the heat, because it is harder to breathe. If you’re doing any type of high intensity training (e.g., marathon training), try to find a place where you will not be around other people to minimize the amount of time you need to cover your mouth and nose.

Face Coverings for Children

Children under the age of 2 should NOT wear cloth face coverings. Those between the ages of 2-8 should use them under adult supervision to ensure that the child can breath safely and to avoid choking or suffocation. Children with breathing problems should not wear a face covering.

How to Manage Patrons and Visitors Who Refuse to Wear Face Coverings

As businesses open, and more individuals venture back into public places, it is very important that everyone continue to comply with physical distancing requirements and infection control practices such as the use of face coverings.

Unfortunately, some businesses or venues may be placed in the difficult position of managing customers or visitors who knowingly or unknowingly do not adhere to the rules. Los Angeles County has prepared a guidance document to provide businesses with tools for preparing for potential incidents with non-compliant individuals.
