LOS ANGELES—Face coverings are not required at indoor retail establishments in Los Angeles County, though health officials strongly recommend them due to COVID-19—but one Beverlywood-area retailer looking to cut down on criminal activity has banned masks altogether.

Operators of the Kitson Los Angeles store at 115 S. Robertson Boulevard have posted a sign alerting customers that face masks are not permitted inside “due to the safety of our staff & assets of the store.”
