LOS ANGELES — As omicron fades, communities across California are continuing to ease masking rules.
But that does not mean face coverings will suddenly disappear in public indoor spaces. Moreover, many health officials say it still makes sense to wear masks inside, even when there is no longer a mandate, because they offer strong protection.
Health officials announced Wednesday that fully vaccinated individuals will be able to shed their masks indoors at Los Angeles County establishments that screen the vaccination status of visitors.
