The owner of a local restaurant in Los Angeles said,This made him feel that these leaders simply did not believe the so-called ban they had issued.If they know that dine-in is dangerous, why should they go?
Coincidentally, California Governor Newsom announced not long ago that 58 of the 41 counties in California have been adjusted to the highest risk level of purple (widespread), and suggested that the size of Thanksgiving family gatherings should be controlled within 3 families.
However, just a few days before the governor announced strict control of the epidemic,On November 11th, he and his wife went to the Michelin three-star restaurant The French Laundry in Napa Valley to attend a birthday party for 6 people. According to witnesses present, the space appears to be indoor.

The governor’s spokesperson, Weedn, claimed that neither the dinner party nor the restaurant violated any regulations, but then under pressure from public opinion, the governor had to come out and apologize.He said, "This is a "huge mistake" and he should "get up immediately and drive home."
