Los Angeles school students must now wear non-fabric masks at all times on campus, both indoors and outdoors, as part of measures to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Effective Monday, students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) must wear “well-fitting, non-cloth masks with a nose wire” only, including during sports.
