Los Angeles bar: Dozens attend party without Covid-19 precautions
CNNCNN — Dozens of people attended a party at a bar in Los Angeles on Friday night – without wearing masks or adhering to social distancing. “Everybody is either family or works at the same place so that’s why we don’t have Covid concerns,” said a man who spoke to CNN outside the bar Friday night. After seeing a photo of the man who spoke with CNN, 1933 Group asserted he “is NOT an employee of 1933 or affiliated with the group in any way.” The event took place as California surpassed 500,000 cases of Covid-19 – the highest number of cases for any US state, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
