Although the Los Angeles Zoo is allowed to reopen, it is expected to remain closed until at least July so that safety preparations can be made. Safety measures at the zoo will include installing directional signage encouraging social distancing between groups and the closure of indoor spaces and high-touch areas, officials said.

Visitors and staff will be required to wear face coverings. Cleaning and sanitization will be increased to create a modified, safe experience for guests, staff and animals, officials said.





Many businesses throughout the region are still in the process of trying to recall employees and establish safety protocols. Patrons are urged to call ahead before visiting.
