“Interim City Manager and Director of Emergency Services Lane Dilg has issued a Twentieth Supplement to Santa Monica’s local emergency declaration strengthening and clarifying requirements for wearing face coverings and setting penalties for those who do not wear them when required. Face coverings are critical to preventing the spread of COVID-19….Under the Twentieth Supplement, businesses can refuse service to any person who does not wear a face covering or fails to comply with social distancing.  Businesses must also take all reasonable steps to ensure those in line or entering their business wear face coverings and comply with physical   distancing requirements.  

The supplement authorizes administrative citations for failing to wear face coverings, for individuals, as $100 for a first violation, $250 for a second violation, and $500 for a third violation.  For businesses, the administrative citations are $500 for a first violation, $750 for a second violation, and $1,000 for a third violation….Clarifications….Exemptions….

To keep the community informed of the importance of face coverings, residents and businesses can pick up free lawn signs and retail signage to help inform friends, neighbors and customers.  Free signs are available for pick up at the Downtown Santa Monica Farmer’s Market Info Booth (Saturdays and Wednesdays, 8 a.m.-1p.m.) or the Main Street Visitor Information Center located at 2427 Main Street (Wednesday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.). ”
