Los Angeles County, which had some of the country’s strictest COVID-19 mandates during its yearlong California lockdown in 2020, is poised to return to mandatory mask mandates.
The largest county in the United States is amid a COVID-19 surge that has placed transmission levels at “medium,” with 2,490 new infections every day, said Barbara Ferrer, director of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.But the count is likely much higher due to people who aren’t reporting their illness or have done at-home tests. If the number creeps into the “high” level, Ferrer will impose an indoor mask mandate, ABC News reported.
Currently, the county has 185 cases per 100,000 people, and if the number reaches 200 infections, that would prompt a move into the “high” level. The number has steadily risen since late October, and based on this trend, the numbers will reach 200 by next week, Ferrer said.
