Citing "flagrant violations" of public health orders, Los Angeles County announced Friday that it was shutting down the garment factory run by Los Angeles Apparel, the company that Charney started after losing control of the one he founded. .

Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, said in a July 10 statement.

But after a "concerned healthcare provider" contacted the Department of Public Health, county inspectors discovered "multiple violations of distancing requirements and infection control protocols," including the use of "cardboard as a barrier between the workers."?

The company repeatedly failed to provide a list of its workers, the department said, and only after its factory was shut down on June 27 did it provide an incomplete list, a week later, of its staff, confirming 198 cases of COVID-19.

However, comparing the company's list of employees to its own database of test results, the Department of Public Health said there are actually more than 300 cases.

According to the county, Los Angeles Apparel then violated its shutdown order and reopened "with apparently new employees." It also attempted to block health inspectors from entering the factory, the county said, leading to the latest order that it remain closed until it can demonstrate "full compliance" with public health mandates
