Los Angeles County reached a 'high' level of COVID-19 infections on Thursday, according to public health officials, meaning a mask mandate could be imposed in two weeks as the highly transmissible Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 make waves across the country.
LOS ANGELES, CA - DECEMBER 3, 2021 - Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of L.A. County Department of Health, visits a free COVID-19 Rapid Test site at the Tom Bradley International Terminal at Los Angeles International Airport Friday, December 3, 2021. This was the first day free tests were made available to arrivals and Dr. Ferrer personally tried to direct many travelers to take a free test. In partnership with the state and U.S.
Ferrer told the L.A. County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, and reiterated Thursday, that an indoor mask mandate will be imposed unless there’s a significant reversal in the current hospitalization rates caused by the coronavirus within the next two weeks.In order to “reverse course,” Ferrer said the county would have to drop below the “high” infection level, but she said it’s unlikely that would happen before the mandate. The last time the area required face coverings was in March.
If the mandate does indeed take effect, it would then expire two weeks later, Ferrer said, but numbers would have to return to a “medium” rating. “We know how to manage it,” Dr. Ashish Jha, coordinator of the White House’s COVID-19 response, said at a virtual press briefing. “We can prevent serious illness. We can save lives and we can minimize disruptions caused by COVID-19.”
The city abandoned it, but Philadelphia Health Commissioner Cheryl Bettigole said the city’s response level system and announcement of a mandate did its job by causing people to increase their awareness and precautions. The spike decreased significantly the week of the mandate.
