COVID-19 testing centers will also be closed «until further notice»
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a citywide curfew starting at 8 p.m. Sunday until 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, as the California National Guard is being deployed.
“A curfew will be in place tonight citywide, starting at 8 p.m. and lasting through 5:30 a.m. Monday morning,” he wrote in a subsequent tweet. “All Angelenos should remain inside tonight, with the exception of first responders, people going to and from work, and anyone seeking or giving emergency care.”
Demonstrations Saturday brought about by the death of George Floyd became a mix of peaceful protesters and, as Garcetti called put it, a “small group of individuals” vandalizing and looting across the city. He said that protesters should feel safe exercising their rights, but condemned the violence.
