LA County, state easing mask-wearing rules as COVID-19 spread slows

The new state rules will take effect Friday, lifting the mask-wearing requirement at correctional facilities, homeless and emergency shelters and in cooling centers.

The eased rules will affect counties where COVID activity is rated as “low” — which covers most of the state, including Los Angeles County.“This shift in masking is consistent with California’s SMARTER Plan and gives Californians the information they should consider when deciding when to wear a mask, including the rate of spread in the community and personal risk,” California Department of Public Health Director and State Public Health Officer Dr.

Los Angeles County was already preparing to ease its indoor mask-wearing guidance based on reduced COVID transmission levels. The county had planned to make the move when its weekly infection rate fell below 100 new cases per 100,000 residents.
