The new rules will take effect Wednesday at 10 p.m. Restaurants, breweries, wineries and bars will only be able to offer takeout, drive-thru and delivery services. 

Officials had warned that these restrictions could come into play if the county's five-day average of new cases was above 4,000. Sunday's five-day average was 4,097 cases. 

Most of California, including Los Angeles County, has been under a curfew since Saturday night at 10 p.m.
