The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) has reinstated a mask mandate that was lifted not too long ago, regardless of whether an individual has been vaccinated against the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, citing recommendations of local health officials.
In a campus-wide email sent on July 2, the UCLA announced that it has modified the masking protocols in response to recent emergence of the Delta variant of the CCP virus in Los Angeles County. The university previously removed the mask requirement for fully vaccinated individuals in outdoors and most indoor spaces on campus, which serves about 44,000 students and 33,000 staff.
