Vaccination Verification Requirements Now in Effect
IT News Wire
Effective October 7, proof of full vaccination or a negative test result will be required to enter outdoor mega events, and proof of at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be required to enter or work in indoor portions of bars, lounges, nightclubs, breweries, wineries, and distilleries in L.A. County. On November 4, bars and similar establishments throughout L.A. County will be required to verify full vaccination of all patrons and employees prior to entry to indoor portions of their establishments. Businesses and cities implementing targeted vaccination mandates are supported by teams at Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (Public Health). Mobile vaccination teams are going across the county to help get vaccinations to employees wherever needed, and Public Health is connecting businesses with testing vendors to provide the necessary testing for unvaccinated employees and patrons. If there is an organization or workplace where people may need to get vaccinated, you can request a mobile vaccination unit to provide vaccines. Public Health encourages
you to visit the Find a Vaccination Provider page to request a visit at your workplace or organization from a mobile vaccination unit or other vaccination partners in the community to provide vaccines. Public Health created toolkits to help businesses through all stages of implementation, which includes an overview of vaccination and testing requirements and FAQs for proprietors of bars and other businesses that serve alcohol, as well as for those running mega events. The toolkits can be found online, at: http://publichealth.lacounty. gov/media/Coronavirus/ business-verification.htm Public Health confirms 31 new deaths and 1,479 new cases of COVID-19.

Inglewood Park Cemetery to host Día de los Muertos celebration By Brea Mitchell, Staff Writer
Día de los Muertos, a Mexican culture holiday celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives, is also known as the Day of the Dead. The holiday originated in contemporary Mexico 3,000 years ago, and is observed all over the world. On the Day of the Dead, it is believed that the border between the spirit and the real world dissolve, and souls of the dead return to visit their loved ones. In honor of the holiday, on Sunday,
October 24, 2021, Inglewood Park Cemetery will be hosting their annual Día de los Muertos celebration, but this year the festivities will be converted into a drive-thru experience. At the event, families will learn about and partake in Día de los Muertos traditions while in a pandemic-safe environment. The day will feature arts and crafts, remembrance trees, photo opportunities, a community alter paying tribute to the iconic Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, and more. The celebration will kick off at Noon.

AND THE WINNER IS?---These two highly decorated and motivated football fans stood out from the crown at SoFi Stadium last Sunday when the Chargers hosted the Cleveland Browns. Not even LeBron James rooting for his hometown Browns was enough. The Chargers roared to 4-1 after a lightening 47-42 shootout. The Bolts will get a well-deserved bye this week.
