The news release went also stated, “Together, and within our local jurisdictions, the Westside cities of Beverly Hills, Culver City, Malibu, Santa Monica, and West Hollywood undergo emergency management training and meet regularly in preparation for a range of emergency scenarios.  Each city, in standard preparation for any emergency or disaster, has robust plans in place for continuity of government services and business operations.”

The five Westside cities are asking residents to take the following precautions to stop the spread of the Coronavirus:

  • Avoid / Stay away from sick people;
  • Wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand cleaner;
  • Keep hands away from eyes, nose, and mouth;
  • Disinfect public counters, desks, common areas, phones, keyboards, etc.;
  • Use disinfectant wipes identified for use against Influenza A&B and Coronaviruses;
  • If you have symptoms (fever, cough, vomiting, difficulty breathing) stay home and call your doctor;
