Mask Mandate May Be Reinitiated

The County of Los Angeles Public Health announced that if LA County remains in the high COVID-19 Community Level for two consecutive weeks universal indoor masking will be implemented on July 29 to help slow the rate of transmission and protect those most vulnerable.

Indoor masking is already a required safety measure in many places, including at all healthcare settings, public transit and transit hubs, long-term care settings, shelters and cooling centers, and correctional facilities. Indoor masking also continues to be required at worksites with outbreaks and is required for all individuals during the 10 days after a COVID diagnosis or exposure when they are around others.
