LA County is very close to 'high transmission' territory, as defined by the CDC. LA County Public Health has said if the county stays at that level for two weeks, an indoor mask mandate would be brought back.
. Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer has said that if the county stays at the high transmission level for two consecutive weeks, it will reimpose a mandatory indoor mask-wearing mandate.
Ferrer told FOX 11 last week a new mandate would help promote equity, especially for essential workers. "For us, equity issues are paramount. There are many people who are, in particular, essential work environments where they would benefit if more people around them would actually use some of the safety precautions that we know work and that's the case with masking," said Ferrer.LA County sees 15k new COVID cases over July 4 weekend; Ventura Co. enters high transmission"Sadly, we've just started to see a slight uptick in deaths as well.
