Mayor Eric Garcetti conceded that Los Angeles reopened too quickly and again warned that the city was “on the brink” of new shutdown orders as the coronavirus continues to surge in California.

Garcetti said the decisions were made at the state and county levels. He added that LA officials wouldn’t hesitate to implement new stay-at-home orders if the numbers don’t turn around.

Now, officials point to gatherings and crowded bars as some of the major drivers of the surge. To prevent further spikes, parts of the country — including Arizona, California and Texas — have closed bars back down.

Local leaders have begun pushing schools to remote instruction in the fall, after outcries from terrified parents and educators.

Across the country, more mask requirements are going into effect, despite consistent backlash from some Americans.

Face masks, experts have said, are the most powerful weapon against the virus.
