Two weeks after the reopening of Los Angeles poker rooms, California Governor Gavin Newsom ordered the closure of certain businesses in 19 counties, including cardrooms, dine-in restaurants, movie theatres, wineries, and museums.
The decision comes due to an increase in coronavirus cases, California has become one of the country’s COVID-19 hot-spots.
It has more than 237,000 confirmed cases, the second-most in the country behind New York.
There are 6,163 known deaths from the virus in the state. Nearly 50% of those cases were reported in Los Angeles County, home to five of the largest cardrooms in the world, including the largest one at Commerce Casino, which boasts 210 poker tables.
As such, Los Angeles poker rooms must close immediately. Dine-in restaurants, wineries, movie theaters, zoos, and museums in LA County and 18 other counties also must temporarily cease operations.
The governor hasn’t announced a specific date for when he’ll allow these businesses to reopen again, but says they’ll be closed for at least three weeks. At that point, he’ll re-evaluate the situation again.
