@usmarinecorps F-18 Fighter Jets To Conduct Training At Long Beach Airport This Weekend. Two U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 aircraft will be conducting training operations at Long Beach Airport Friday through Sunday. They are significantly louder than aircraft that typically operate at the airport. We anticipate they’ll arrive in the late a.m. tomorrow and depart in the afternoon on Sunday. All times subject to change. Due to the unique nature of the mission, military aircraft are exempt from noise regulations, but they will be using noise abatement procedures in the Long Beach area (modified arrival & departure flight profiles & min. use of afterburners).

Case of West Nile Virus Reported in Long Beach. Lo

Case of West Nile Virus Reported in Long Beach. Long Beach, CA – The first human case of West Nile virus (WNV) this mosquito season was reported in Long Beach this week. The patient, in their 60s, was diagnosed with neuro-invasive illness and is currently hospitalized. “While the world is focused on COVID-19 prevention and response, this is an important reminder that we continue to see cases of West Nile Virus most years in Long Beach,” said City Health Officer Dr. Anissa Davis. “We cannot let our guard down against mosquito-borne diseases.”

The Long Beach WNV case is only the second reported in California this year, after the first human case of the season was reported in Stanislaus County. No mosquitoes in Long Beach have been found to be positive for WNV thus far this season.

WNV is transmitted through the bite of an infected Culex mosquito. Signs and symptoms of WNV may include fever, body aches, rash, nausea, vomiting and headache. Most people who become infected have no symptoms. However, approximately one in 150 may develop a more serious disease, such as brain inflammation or paralysis. Persons with these symptoms should seek immediate care.

Long Beach health officials are advising residents to take the following precautions:

Prevent mosquito bites by applying insect repellent with EPA-registered active ingredients DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or lemon eucalyptus before you go outside.
Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants if spending time outside during dawn and dusk. WNV-carrying mosquitoes are most active during those times.
Install or repair door and window screens.
Dump and drain standing water around your home.
Report large amounts of mosquitoes by visiting www.longbeach.gov/mosquitoes.

City of Long Beach Now Accepting Applications for Emergency Rental Assistance.

#LongBeachCA - The City today announced that application forms and program materials are available for a newly launched rental assistance program that will help provide relief to qualified tenants affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The program was unanimously approved earlier this month by the City Council.

“This emergency program will help provide much-needed relief to hundreds of Long Beach renters and their landlords as the pandemic continues to impact our City,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “Providing direct support to those who need it most is critical to keeping our economy going.”
The Long Beach CARES Emergency Rental Assistance Program (LB CARES), which is being administered by the City’s Development Services Department, will provide up to $1,000 per month of rental assistance payments for up to three months on behalf of qualifying Long Beach residents who have lost income due to COVID-19 and meet federal low-income requirements. The monthly assistance payments will be provided directly to property owners or landlords on behalf of qualifying residents and will be applicable to rent due during the eligible period from March 27, 2020, until the end of the City’s Safer at Home Order.

“The Housing and Neighborhood Services Bureau of Development Services is pleased to help our community by providing rental assistance during this pandemic,” said Oscar Orci, Director of Development Services.

Eligible applicants will be required to submit documentation confirming substantive income losses caused by job layoffs, furloughs or reduction in hours or pay during the COVID-19 pandemic period beginning March 27. All documentation, including rental lease agreements, will be subject to verification.

Information and application materials (available in English, Spanish, Khmer and Tagalog), including eligibility requirements, are available on the program website: longbeach.gov/lbcares.

Applicants may request that application materials be sent by postal mail by calling 562.570.3000 during business hours or emailing LBCares@longbeach.gov More on our web

UPDATE: Three Women Shot, One Killed at Long Beach

UPDATE: Three Women Shot, One Killed at Long Beach Candlelight Vigil.

On June 29, 2020, at approximately 9:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 5800 block of Orange Avenue regarding a shooting. The Communications Center advised the Police Department they could hear shots being fired and people screaming in the background, with numerous calling parties also reporting multiple shots being fired, which resulted in the death of a female adult. Upon arrival, LBPD officers located a large group of people on the sidewalks, apartment parking areas, and streets. The group appeared to be having a vigil for the murder of Archie Harris, which occurred on June 28, 2020. Three female adult victims with gunshot wounds were located in the area. Victim #1 had a gunshot wound to her lower extremity and Victim #2 had a gunshot wound to her upper torso, both were transported to an area hospital and listed in stable condition. Victim #3 suffered gunshot wounds to her upper torso. She was transported to an area hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. At this time, the victim is only being identified as a female adult pending notification to next of kin by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. The preliminary investigation revealed a group of subjects, related to the vigil, were involved in a dispute with a local resident. The dispute escalated into the resident’s window being broken and then into a shooting with multiple suspects firing in different directions. The exact motive for the shooting is currently unknown, however, the incident is being investigated as gang-related. Detectives are actively working to gather additional information to further the ongoing investigation.

Anyone with any information regarding the incident is urged to contact LBPD Homicide Detectives Adrian Garcia and Sean Magee at (562) 570-7244. Anonymous tips may be submitted through “LA Crime Stoppers” by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477), downloading the “P3 Tips” app to your smartphone (available at the Apple app store or Google Play), or by visiting www.crimestoppers.org.

Long Beach to Close Beaches Over Fourth of July We

Long Beach to Close Beaches Over Fourth of July Weekend.

@longbeachcity announced today that, in alignment with Los Angeles County, Long Beach beaches will be closed to the public this Fourth of July weekend starting Friday, July 3 (12:01 a.m.), through 5 a.m. on Monday, July 6, in a proactive effort to limit the spread of COVID-19. This closure also includes piers, beach parking lots (except for permit holders), beach access ways, bathrooms and beach bike and pedestrian paths. Due to the recent sharp increase in COVID-19 cases and the positivity rate in both Long Beach and Los Angeles County, and because beaches typically attract large gatherings, Long Beach beaches will close temporarily for both passive and active use. Beaches will reopen at 5:01 a.m. Monday, July 6.

The City encourages residents to celebrate safely at home this Fourth of July, and suggest alternative ways to celebrate with members of one’s household, such as having a fireworks-free BBQ at home or a family-movie marathon. Events like fireworks shows, block parties and other types of large gatherings are not permitted, per the State of California Health Order. If celebrating with outdoor activities, City health officials remind residents to maintain at least a six-foot distance from other individuals not in the same household, wear a face covering over both your mouth and nose in all public and private places you could be, or are, in contact with members of other households, wash hands frequently and sanitize high-touch surfaces.

This action was put in place by the City Health Officer, Dr. Anissa Davis, and in accordance with the Emergency Powers granted to the City Manager through the Proclamation of Local Emergency. It is effective on July 3, 2020, at 12:01 a.m., and will continue until Monday, July 6, 2020, at 5 a.m.

Current recommendations by the US Centers of Disea

Current recommendations by the US Centers of Disease Control @cdcgov the World Health Organization, @who and leading medical experts state that masks provide significant benefit in the fight against COVID-19. With such unanimity of agreement, media outlets and members of the public have taken to what is termed ‘mask shaming’ those who do not wear masks, chastening themselves as selfishly presenting a significant effect to public health. Is this fair? As is often the case, the matter is a bit more complicated. Click the link in our bio for more. #longbeachlocalnews #lbln #longbeach #covid19 #coronavirus #facemask

Mandatory Closure of Bars in Los Angeles County In

Mandatory Closure of Bars in Los Angeles County Including Long Beach. Today, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the mandatory closure of bars in Los Angeles County in order to limit the spread of COVID-19. The governor cited the social nature of bars, the potential for alcohol consumption to reduce inhibition and impair judgment and the challenges of contact tracing among bar-goes, among the reasons for the action. “From the beginning of our reopening process, I’ve said that we would be led by the facts,” said Mayor Robert Garcia. “I support the Governor’s decision to close bars in several counties in California, including here in L.A. County and Long Beach. We must continue to prioritize public health and safety.” The mandatory closure goes into effect tonight, just after midnight (12:01 a.m., June 29, 2020), and affects brewpubs, craft distilleries, breweries, bars, pubs, wineries and associated tasting rooms that do not have a restaurant permit. Restaurants, brewpubs, breweries, bars, pubs, craft distilleries and wineries and associated tasting rooms that have a restaurant permit may continue to operate, but the seated bar area(s) in these facilities must remain closed and people cannot gather in the bar area. The amended City of Long Beach Health Order detailing the closures will be posted later today at longbeach.gov/COVID19.

Public health professionals within California and throughout the nation have identified bars as the highest risk sector of non-essential business currently open.
The State has developed a monitoring list for Counties that focuses on key COVID-19 indicators such as positivity rate, case rate, stability of hospitalizations, and hospital surge capacity. Counties that do not meet the criteria are placed on the monitoring list. Those that have been on the list for over 14 days are required to close bars.

Mandatory bar closures affect the following counties:

Fresno
Imperial
Kern
Kings
Los Angeles
San Joaquin
Tulare
Under the State guidelines for the reopening process, Long Beach, which has its own Health Department, is counted with Los Angeles County. However, even if the State considered Long Beach separate
