LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said Monday that he's encouraged by a slowing rate of corornavirus infections but warned that City Hall could expand restrictions on public and business activity if the numbers suddenly take a turn for the worse.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Garetti said the possibilities include requiring people to stay mostly in their neighborhoods, rather than travel longer distances for shopping and exercise, and clamping down on construction sites with workers in too-close proximity.

Nothing is imminent but “be ready for more, depending on what the statistics are," the mayor said.

Beginning in mid-March, the city put broad restrictions in place that have closed gyms, bars and sit-down dining rooms, and limited business activity to lines of work deemed essential.Now, freeways flow freely with most residents spending their days at home.

4. Why confine people to their neighborhoods??

Some places don't have good grocery stores.

And what if a restaurant you want to get take out from is in another town? If you're only in your car, why does it matter?
