As expected, Los Angeles County will drop its indoor mask-wearing requirement for fully vaccinated people Friday after Supervisor Janice Hahn announced the pending change Tuesday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed that its masking rules will be relaxed beginning Friday, allowing vaccinated people to shed face coverings indoors at establishments that verify vaccination status. Meanwhile, the county is reporting another 36 COVID deaths and 1,934 more cases.
On her Twitter page Tuesday, Hahn wrote that the move"puts us significantly closer to aligning with the state.'' LA County DPH is issuing a new Health Order allowing vaccinated people to take off their masks indoors at places that check for proof of vaccination.The move is a major adjustment to the county's strict indoor mask mandate, which requires people to don face coverings in most indoor settings regardless of vaccination status. The county rule remains in force, even though the state lifted its indoor mask mandate last week.
County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer previously outlined metrics that would have to be met for the county to drop its indoor mask mandate.
