Health officials said face coverings no longer will be required in certain outdoor settings once COVID-19 hospitalizations drop by 26%, and indoor mask rules could be loosened after further gains.
Outlining how health and safety rules could be loosened as the Omicron variant of the coronavirus continues to wane, Los Angeles County officials said Thursday that face coverings no longer will be required in certain outdoor settings once COVID-19 hospitalizations drop, and indoor mask rules could be loosened after further gains.
Under the criteria, which Ferrer unveiled Thursday, an even wider relaxation of face covering rules is still a ways off. Even once L.A. County reaches moderate transmission, officials will not further rescind masking requirements unless there are “no emerging reports of significantly circulating new variants of concern that threaten vaccine effectiveness,” according to information Ferrer presented.
