Los Angeles County re-implementing indoor mask mandate regardless of vaccination status

By Mary Stringini

COVID-19 cases continue to rise in LA County

The number of people hospitalized due to COVID-19 in Los Angeles County topped 400 today, while another 1,315 infections were confirmed, marking the sixth consecutive day of new cases topping 1,000.

LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County is re-implementing a mandate requiring residents to wear masks while indoors, regardless of vaccination status as the county continues to see an increase in COVID-19 transmission, county health officials said Thursday. 

The county previously only recommended mask-wearing indoors. 

When will LA County's new mask mandate take effect?

The new mandate will take effect at 11:59 p.m. Saturday.

Where will LA County residents be required to wear masks?

The mandate means customers will again be required to mask up when entering any indoor public establishment, including retail shops, grocery stores, bars, clubs, restaurants and workplaces. Davis said indoor dining will remain open, but customers will have to remain masked while they are not eating or drinking.

Why will LA County be re-instating the indoor mask mandate?

Thursday marks the seventh consecutive day of new COVID-19 cases in Los Angeles County exceeding the 1,000 mark. The 1,537 new cases reported by the county Thursday is the highest number of new cases the county has seen since early March.

County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said the county is "not where we need to be" in terms of getting the population vaccinated against the virus.

He said the rate of virus spread in the county has officially risen from moderate to substantial, with infections five times more likely to occur among unvaccinated residents. The current seven-day average rate of daily new cases in the county is now at 7.1 cases per 100,000 residents.

The new cases reported by the county Thursday lifted the cumulative total from throughout the pandemic to 1,262,578. The county reported three more COVID-19 deaths, lifting the overall death toll to 24,566.

When asked if the county might consider re-implementing other health restrictions -- such as capacity limits and physical distancing, Davis said, "Everything is on the table if things continue to get worse."

He said, for now, mask-wearing is the "easiest thing" for people to do to help limit the spread of the virus.

The increases continue slow but steady month-long climbs that have prompted concern among health care officials and led to another call from Gov. Gavin Newsom for people to get vaccinated. 

"I cannot impress upon you more the power of getting vaccinated," Newsom said during an appearance Wednesday in Bell Gardens. "If we want to extinguish this pandemic, this disease, we've got to get vaccinated. Period. Full stop. You're seeing again around the rest of the world -- read the headlines in Indonesia right now. Read the headlines in Portugal right now. Read the headlines in the United States of America right now."

Vaccines aren’t stopping the spread. You know what is?? Actually having covid. I just spent 4 days in Vegas. 6 of my friends all didn’t have covid and had the vaccine. I had covid and not the vaccine. All 6 of them have delta 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,644]

Have all those illegals sneaking in been vaccinated, or even tested? The Biden admin is beyond incompetent. They are doing this on purpose. What other explanation could there be? Worms, want to inform us whats going on?

It's a weird phenomenon. It's like our bodies have some sort of system for fighting viruses or something. Like, if you catch a virus of some sort, the body fights it somehow. The really weird part is, it's almost as if the body can recognize a virus it's fought before and refuses to let it back in to do any further damage. Almost like you develop some sort of resistance to it.

You disgust me. I’m prepared to never leave my house again if it means everyone lives as long as possible. But I do agree with the mom thing. Not sure life would be worth living without them.

I think at risk people should get vaccinated if they so choose. I think low risk people who wish to get vaccinated should go ahead and do so. I think people who choose to let their immune system do it's job should be allowed to do so without being stigmatized or prevented from exercising personal freedoms in order to make mental patients feel better.

I hate it. But get used to it. Delta variant is driving up numbers among people too focking belligerent to get vaccinated.

I, for one, am going to be ready g0ddamn pissed if I have to wear a mask again everywhere because some people are too damn stupid to get the vaccine.

For the first time in bored history, one geek has made another geek reconsider his position. 

I didn't consider the fact that women are becoming grandmothers at increasingly younger ages these days. There must be some that are worthy of my consideration. My selfishness may very well lead to the demise of a GILF or two. 

You, sir, get my vote for Geek of the Year.

Yep. It's frustrating as hell. I've been locked in this city for a year and a half now. Can finally travel around China, going on a trip next month, but...

We're hearing the border won't be open until the second half of 2022. My wife hasn't seen her family in three years, me 2.

Of course... at least here, the vaccines don't focking work. My city is 71% vaccinated. We just finished a couple weeks of lockdown and testing 3 times a week. Pretty clearly they know it doesn't work.

That's my real frustration with covid since the beginning, it's largely been theatre. Just putting on a show that you can do anything about it.

Sorry Fossil Fuels, the big problem is the messaging.  The ad campaign to convince people to get vaccinated sucks.  They don't mention it is free.  There are just too many people who won't bother unless expressly told it is free.  People are willing to go to extreme lengths to save 2 nickels. They need to say the vaccine is free to gain traction.

No, door to door is definitely the answer...Along with censoring all the misinformation. Yeah, that’s it.

This wouldn't be the reason.  If it were, then people in Florida who aren't worried about that happening would be.
