Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti says his city will “never be completely open” until there is a cure for the coronavirus.
He made the comments Wednesday morning to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on “Good Morning America,” just one day after it was announced Los Angeles County will extend its stay-at-home directive to residents for three more months, though some restrictions may be loosened or lifted.
“I think we have to all recognize that we’re not moving beyond Covid-19,” he added. “We’re learning to live with it.”
“It’s important to take this serious because [the virus] is as dangerous today as it was the first day that it arrived in our cities and our country,” the two-term mayor added.
