See updated Safer at Home Order issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health.
- Stay Home
- When out getting groceries or exercise, keep 6‑foot perimeter distance from others.
- Keep touchpoints clean – these are places that many people touch; such as door handles, counters, phones, keyboards, remote controls, etc.
- Wash your hands – wash many times during the day, for at least 20 seconds. If you can’t wash your hands, use hand sanitizer.
- Maintain good personal hygiene and avoid touching your face.
- Avoid contact with people who are sick or if you feel sick stay home. Also, consider reducing unnecessary close contact with others by avoiding handshakes or hugs.
Is County staff trained to deal with Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Yes. The County’s emergency personnel are trained and capable to respond to any emerging disease, including the Novel Coronavirus, and implement appropriate healthcare protocols.
Will Flower Duet continue to operate normally?
Flower Duet cancelled classes and tours through April 30, 2020 as per guidelines from the California Public Health Department issued on March 12, 2020. We held virtual classes all month and are offering outdoor classes weather permitting with limited size and distancing for October — December.
Flower Duet is monitoring the Health Department guidelines.
TOURS: For all upcoming scheduled tours of the LA Flower Market, these are on hold.
WORKSHOPS: For May-September Floral Workshops, Flower Duet held these classes virtually through video conferencing software on the Internet. Students will be able to connect through a mobile device like a phone or an iPad or a Chromebook or from a desktop computer. A video camera option on the student side will be helpful so that we can offer feedback on the floral design each student creates. Meeting invitations with details on how students will get flowers, vases, floral cutters, and logging into the class will be sent out once the student has made a reservation for the class. Flowers will be included for these classes. For future classes, we will reevaluate as per LA County #saferathome guidelines. We are offering an option to come and take a class outside with limited capacities and safe social distancing.
What is Flower Duet doing differently in its studio to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus?
While we are taking flower orders and meeting via email or phone calls and Zoom conference. We are wiping down tables, frequently touched surfaces and the vases we use for deliveries with sanitizing wipes more often than we normally would do. Anyone with symptoms of illness will not be permitted to enter the studio.

What can I do to prevent contracting the Novel Coronavirus or any other viruses?
The best way to stay healthy is eating well and practicing good hygiene such as frequently washing your hands and utilizing hand sanitizer, keeping a distance between anyone who is coughing or sneezing, avoiding touching the face and staying home if you feel unwell.

Do I need to wear a facemask in public?
Cloth Face Coverings are now required as per LA County Health. Most often, spread of respiratory viruses from person-to-person happens among close contact (within 6 feet). See more here: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/docs/protection/GuidanceClothFaceCoverings.pdf
