LA Mayor Backpedals Lockdown Extensions After Furious Reaction [image: Profile picture for user Tyler Durden] <https://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden> by Tyler Durden <https://www.zerohedge.com/users/tyler-durden> Wed, 05/13/2020 - 13:33 https://www.zerohedge.com/health/la-mayor-backpedals-lockdown-extensions-after-furious-reaction <https://www.zerohedge.com/#twitter> *The mayor of Los Angeles on Tuesday quickly backpedaled from his top health director's extension of the stay-at-home order that would now last through July, after residents were furious about further quarantines, reported Reuters <https://www.reuters.com/>. * *Barbara Ferrer, LA County's Health Director, said the new public health order <https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/south-korea-confirms-100-cases-gay-bar-cluster-russia-now-home-worlds-2nd-worst>, now called "Safer at Home," would go into effect this Friday and last for three months even as Gov. Gavin Newsom said <https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/germany-south-korea-report-surge-new-covid-19-cases-lockdowns-eased-live-updates> restaurants and other businesses could reopen. * *"While the Safer at Home orders will remain in place over the next few months, restrictions will be gradually relaxed under our 5-stage Roadmap to Recovery, while making sure we are keeping our communities as safe as possible during this pandemic," Ferrer said in a statement released Tuesday. "We are being guided by science and data that will safely move us forward along the road to recovery in a measured way—one that allows us to ensure that effective distancing and infection control measures are in place.* *"We're counting on the public's continued compliance with the orders to enable us to relax restrictions, and we are committed to making sure that LA County is in the best position to provide its 10 million residents with the highest level of wellness possible as we progressively get back to normal," Ferrer continued. * *Click on the link for the rest* -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
