Los Angeles County on Sunday banned in-person dining for three weeks amid a surge in coronavirus cases less than 24 hours after they imposed a 10pm curfew. Diners are served outside by a waiter wearing a mask, face shield and rubber gloves, Wednesday, November 18 in the West Hollywood area of Los Angeles. Los Angeles County, the state's largest county, had already warned that an even more drastic lockdown could be imminent. LA county accounts for a quarter of the state's 40 million residents, but it has about a third of the coronavirus cases and close to 40 per cent of the deaths. California's average daily number of coronavirus cases has tripled in the last month, the Los Angeles Times found in an analysis, while COVID-19 hospitalizations have doubled in the same time period.
