City of Rosemead's Response to Temporary Closures Related to COVID-19
ROSEMEAD, CA — In response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and following the most
recent Los Angeles County Department of Public and Health order, and the Mayor's Safer at Home
directives, beginning on May 8, select non-essential businesses may open with a curbside pick-up
that follows physical distancing and infection control guidelines. These include bookstores,
clothing stores, sporting goods stores, music stores, toy stores, and car dealership showrooms that
practice the same guidelines.
In addition, outdoor parks and recreation facilities will be permitted to open as long as everyone
adheres to physical distancing and infection control guidelines. These include golf courses (not
including pro -shops or dine -in restaurants), trails, trailheads, and parks. For more information about
the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation reopening golf courses and trails,
please click here. Please note: Parks' playgrounds, picnic shelters, basketball courts, and
tennis courts will not be open and access is prohibited. Everyone attending City parks must
practice social distancing and wear face coverings.
While we are making good progress, it is important to remember that the COVID-19 pandemic is
still active. Residents, business owners, and employees must observe physical distancing
requirements and prevention techniques. This includes:
• Wearing a face covering whenever you leave home
• Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds throughout the day
• Staying six feet away from people who do not live with you
