LOS ANGELES — Continued increases in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations have pushed Los Angeles County even closer to reinstating a universal indoor mask mandate.
The measure, which officials have long warned was on the table, could go into effect as soon as late July.
“We can’t predict with certainty what the future hospitalization trend will look like. However, it is looking more likely, as cases and admissions have continued to increase, that we’ll enter the high community level designation later this month,” L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday.
