WATCH: LA County's 4-point plan for easing COVID restrictions unveiled

Supervisor Kathryn Barger, chair of the county Board of Supervisors, unveiled a four-point plan whose criteria she said would have to be achieved before the easing of restrictions could begin.

There has to be ventilation of the vehicle before washing and it limits the number of persons that can vacuum or detail the interior at any one time. The same person has to follow the car along the car wash from beginning to end.

Now, there's also going to be dog grooming allowed. All services are by appointment only and customers cannot enter the facility.

And some retail businesses can also open, but customers cannot enter the business. Sales have to occur in advance. The customer then goes to a pick-up location curbside and picks up the items.
