BREAKING: Public health officials will reinstate an indoor mask mandate for Los Angeles residents as coronavirus cases rise just one month after California reopened its economy; the mandate will apply to everyone regardless of vaccination status.
LOS ANGELES — Public health officials will reinstate an indoor mask mandate for residents of the most populous county in the nation as coronavirus cases rise just one month after the state reopened its economy.
“We’re not where we need to be for the millions at risk of infection here in Los Angeles County, and waiting to do something will be too late given what we’re seeing now,” county health officer Dr. Muntu Davis said Thursday during a news briefing.Previously, officials recommended indoor mask-wearing among non-vaccinated people, who comprise roughly 4 million of the county's 10 million residents.
“Anything is on the table if things continue to get worse, which is why we want to take action now,” he said. “The drastic increase in cases is concerning — as is the number of people choosing not to get vaccinated,” Sacramento County Public Health Officer Olivia Kasirye said in a statement. “Our best protection against COVID-19 continues to be the vaccine. We urge all eligible residents to get vaccinated in order to protect themselves, and their family and friends.”
