LONG BEACH, Calif.—Small business owners, workers, and supporters rallied in Long Beach on Dec. 2 to protest the Los Angeles County Public Health Department’s dining restrictions in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’ve done everything they’ve asked us to … now here we are on the eleventh hour trying to figure out how to stay alive after all these years,” Long Beach restaurateur Jeff Darling told The Epoch Times.
