LOS ANGELES—In the face of steadily increasing COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, Los Angeles County residents will again be required to wear masks in indoor settings beginning July 17, health officials announced.
County Health Officer Dr. Muntu Davis said on July 15 that the county is “not where we need to be” in terms of getting the population vaccinated against the virus, as evidenced by seven straight days of new cases numbers that topped 1,000.
