LA County to Revisit Indoor Mask Rules as Mandates Ease in California
Barger on Monday hailed the state's announcement that it is easing masking rules, and again called for an end to the county requirement.
On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced new standards that rely largely on COVID hospital numbers to govern whether masks should be worn. Those new standards -- while resulting in mask recommendations being lifted for much of the country, still classified Los Angeles and San Diego counties as having ``high'' virus activity and urged that people continue to wear masks.
Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer has said that the county's indoor mask-wearing rule would remain in place until the following standards are met According to Ferrer, reaching the CDC's ``moderate'' level of transmission requires the county to have a seven-day cumulative infection rate of less than 50 per 100,000 residents. Ferrer said that is expected to happen by March 16, meaning the indoor mask mandate would be completely lifted by March 30.
