COVID restrictions expanding in LW and Seal Beach
URGENT NOTICE
In response to the current surge in COVID-19 cases, Seal Beach City Hall temporarily closed on Jan. 4 and will remain shuttered through Friday, Jan. 14.
The GRF also extended its mask mandate and issued new restrictions on clubhouses last week.
The State of California has extended its previous mask mandate, which became effective Dec. 15, to at least Feb. 15.
Masks are required for the interior use of all trust property until further notice.
This includes the Fitness Center, Table Tennis area, Woodshop, the Library, Shuffleboard Court, all clubhouses and all GRF offices.
This public safety action follows an order issued Jan. 5 by Gov. Newsom, which included Orange County.
The order comes amid signs of a winter surge in COVID-19, with the advent of the omicron variant, as well as the seasonal flu.
As an additional precaution, GRF is recommending that all clubs and private reservations temporarily suspend food service.
Clubs and groups that choose to allow food should ensure it is consumed in a separate, designated area and not at tables where other activities are being conducted (card or game playing, for example).
The GRF Board of Directors thanks residents for spreading the word and for their cooperation in helping to keep the community safe.

In the City of Seal Beach, services are continuing despite the closure of City Hall. Some are being conducted only through virtual and drop-off services.
City residents and businesses are encouraged to make use of online services and tools during this period.
For general inquiries regarding city services, call (562) 431-2527, ext. 1350, or email AskCityHall@sealbeachca.gov.

GRF and Seal Beach are carefully monitoring the COVID (omicron) outbreak in consultation with Orange County public health officials and will adjust their strategies as necessary.
