Martin Feinberg, Realtor, recognizes the efforts of Culver City officials in helping to stem the spread of the coronavirus within the Culver City Real Estate area. Helping to slow the rate of transmission is an essential part of making sure that health care services remain able to handle their patient load and provide the best care possible, including advanced care when it is needed.
In that vein, the City of Culver City has released a statement outlining recent city closures and program cancellations. The press release also includes links with further information about the coronavirus and access to local updates.
“Beginning March 11, 2020, the City of Culver City has cancelled all nonessential City-sponsored events for the next four weeks as a Coronavirus precautionary measure. This includes the My Brother’s Keeper program (March 14) and Egg-stravaganza (March 21) which are now cancelled.
Program cancellations, facility closures and/or gathering size restrictions related to Coronavirus precautions are now in place for the Veterans Memorial Complex (Senior Center, Veterans Memorial Building, Teen Center), and all Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department staffed and contracted classes and programs with the exception of only a few. We ask that you please read the information below carefully. If you have questions or would like more information, call the Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Department at 310-253-6650 or email us at prcs.department@culvercity.org.
