Los Angeles County’s top health official on Thursday signaled that the county may impose its COVID-19-related mask mandate in the coming weeks.

“If both hospitalization indicators, new COVID-19 admissions and the proportion of staffed in-patient beds occupied by COVID patients, surpass the threshold for high, LA County will return to universal indoor masking,” LA County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said in a Thursday news conference.
