Teachers in Los Angeles County will be required to wear high-grade masks while in class, while staff and students will be required to wear masks outdoors in crowded spaces under new rules.

The rule, which applies to both public and private schools in the county, was implemented as students returned from their winter break, according to updated guidance from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department.
