Temecula City Hall Closed To Public Amid Coronavirus
TEMECULA, CA — Temecula City Hall is once again temporarily closed to the public due to the rising number of coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in the county. Virtual services are still available to residents and businesses.
"Closure of Temecula City Hall to the public is anticipated to be in place until it is determined to be safe to reopen again," a news release from the city read.
The closure follows an order issued Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom that mandates the countywide shutdown of indoor operations at gyms, houses of worship, shopping malls, offices for non-essential sectors, as well as personal care services such as nail salons, hair salons, barbershops, body waxing and tattoo parlors. Indoor protests are also banned.
The businesses and services may remain open, but only if they can be modified to operate outside or by pick-up, according to Newsom. Read more: Riverside County Ordered To Move Businesses, Services Outdoors
The order affects 30 counties on the state's COVID-19 watch list — including all the Southern California counties: Riverside, Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura.
In addition to the closures announced Monday, bars, pubs, and breweries are shuttered countywide, and the following sectors can only offer outdoor services: restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, family entertainment centers, zoos and museums, and card rooms.
