LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Councilman John Lee has said he will not support an ordinance requested by the city council to require people to show proof of at least partial vaccination against COVID-19 to enter many public indoor spaces in the city, which will delay the ordinance’s likely approval.
The motion to request the ordinance passed the city council 13–0, with Councilmen John Lee and Joe Buscaino absent. Lee was absent during the meeting because he was exposed to COVID-19 and was experiencing symptoms, but said he tested negative for the virus. Lee’s office said on Aug. 13 that the councilman continues to test negative.
