However, those sectors can remain open if they move operations outdoors.
The San Diego City Council unanimously passed measures last Tuesday extending the permits of local businesses to operate outdoors to help them survive the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the new regulation, the waiving of permitting requirements to allow restaurants and retail stores to conduct business on private parking lots, adjacent sidewalks and on-street parking areas was extended from 45 days to 10 months and 15 days.
In Santa Barbara, a coastal city renowned for the Mediterranean-style white stucco buildings with red-tile roofs in downtown, the city council voted unanimously late May to make about a mile of State Street, a main commercial artery, into a pedestrian promenade.
It allowed restaurants and bars to add seats and tables on the sidewalk, in the street and in parking lots and this move brought relief to many local restaurants, bars and shops which are suffering months-long pandemic and restrictions threatening to drive them out of business.
Then nail salons, a museum and even Yoga classes in the city, 150 kilometers north of Los Angeles downtown, went outdoor.
According to a report of local KEYT 3 news channel, at least three Yoga studios began their outdoor classes last month, and all of them ordered a speaker and mic to add to the outdoor experience.
"CorePower is all about community and there's no community if our doors are closed," CorePower co-owner Brandon Cox told KEYT 3. "We knew that we were allowed to do yoga outdoors."
