Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is skeptical about having large gatherings such as concerts or sporting events back by the end of the year, saying it "would be very difficult to see."
Garcetti told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview, "It's difficult to imagine us getting together in the thousands anytime soon, so I think we should be prepared for that this year."
"I think we all have never wanted science to work so quickly," he added. "Public health officials have made very clear we have miles and miles to walk before we can be back in those environments."
The coronavirus pandemic has caused the cancellation of sporting, music and cultural events across the globe.
