LA County Allows Indoor Religious Services Under Modified Health OrderUpdated December 19, 2020 6:14 PM Published December 19, 2020 5:25 PM
https://laist.com/latest/post/20201219/aa7b3d6d3cb2ad1bf60155dd5d29123c5aee542dLos Angeles County’s Department of Public Health announced today that it would change its health order to reflect recent Supreme Court rulings against state attempts to limit indoor worship services because of the coronavirus.
In a news release issued Saturday afternoon, the department said that places of worship can have both indoor and outdoor services “with mandatory physical distancing and face coverings over both the nose and mouth that must be worn at all times while on site.â€
Almost certainly related to this reversal:

http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,412091.msg2338027.html#msg2338027 . The first case involve the leader of churches in four counties, LA County being one. The other case involves a church in LA County. I suspect that the lawyers for several churches in multiple counties whose pastors have been fined are busy getting those rescinded or overturned.
This was a fight government should never have picked. The churches will be hurt, their communities will be hurt, and governments' relationships with prominent community organizations - the churches - have been hurt. No one benefited, except for the religion-hating government officials.
