HERE WE GO: Los Angeles County Enters CDC’s “High” Covid Alert – Mask Mandate to Kick in On July 29

Los Angeles County is planning to reinstate its indoor mask mandate on July 29.

If Los Angeles County remains in the CDC’s “High” level Covid alert for two weeks in a row, it will reinstate its indoor mask mandate.

LA County public health director Barbara Ferrer on Thursday said, “Lots of folks are asking why we’re bothering and asking why don’t we just let things run their course like other places may have done.”

“I think it’s really hard … to look at the LA County data and not notice who continues to be hardest hit and not notice that we still have lots and lots of people with severe illness, lots of people who die and lots of people with long Covid, and not want to take a fairly straightforward step to try to layer in some additional protections,” she said.
