The revised guidance will allow people to go without face coverings outdoors at K-12 schools and child-care facilities and in exterior areas at 'mega' events.
“We’re no longer using the availability of the vaccine as a metric to consider lifting indoor masking, because it’s just too far out,” Ferrer said. “We think that there are sensible metrics that we take into account, and that our improving case numbers really help us make sure that we are able to continue protections for workers in places where masking will be required.”The state will reassess conditions at the end of the month before making a decision on school masking rules.
“Businesses, schools, churches were fined or shut down for far less, and yet it seems like when we have something high-profile like the Super Bowl, the rules just don’t seem to matter anymore,” Supervisor Janice Hahn said Tuesday. “And I believe that our health orders are only effective if people believe in them, if they think they are fair and if they follow them. And keeping mandates in place that aren’t followed just erodes the credibility the public has in us as policymakers.
Like Hahn, Supervisor Kathryn Barger has pushed for the county to align its rules with those of the state. She reiterated the point Tuesday,However, three board colleagues, including Chair Holly Mitchell, have not joined that call. “To really take a step back and understand that our role as a functioning governing body is to follow public health practices, which is in the best interest of every resident of L.A. County, I think is really important,” she added. “It’s something that we should not lose sight of.”
