BREAKING: Los Angeles County's much-debated COVID-19 indoor mask-wearing mandate could be lifted by Friday, Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer has announced.
Los Angeles, CA - April 28: Baseball fans sitting socially distanced and wearing masks due to the Coronavirus Pandemic look on during a baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 28, 2021. – Los Angeles County’s much-debated COVID-19 indoor mask-wearing mandate could be lifted by Friday, according to the public health director, aligning the county with the state’s action that took effect Tuesday.
Los Angeles County, however, resisted dropping the indoor masking requirement. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said the county wanted to wait until the local virus-transmission rate fell out of the “high” category as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and maintained the lower level for at least two weeks. Under the current rate of decline, Ferrer previously said that would mean the mask mandate would be in place until the end of March.
Given that drop, Ferrer said the county is prepared to issue a new Health Officer Order on Thursday, taking effect Friday, that will eliminate the indoor mask-wearing requirement. “We are encouraged by recent improvements to local health conditions, which underscore the effectiveness of the district’s robust vaccination and testing programs,” according to the district. “We are committed to upholding our science-driven approach to COVID-19 protocols and will continue to consult with our medical director and health partners as we work to establish an updated mask policy.
