LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles’ state of local emergency due to COVID-19 will end in February after a City Council vote Dec. 7.
The state of local emergency has been in place since March 4, 2020. The council has voted to extend it each month since then. Council President Paul Krekorian introduced an amendment to Wednesday’s item to continue the state of local emergency, but set an end date for Feb. 1, 2023.
Council members Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Mike Bonin, and Nithya Raman voted against the end date, but the entire item passed 12–0. No council members offered comment before the vote.
