LOS ANGELES—To align with the county’s mask policy, the City of Los Angeles relaxed its mask policy on Friday, Feb. 25, for businesses that require proof of vaccination to enter, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced on the same day.

“This moment gives us a renewed sense of optimism about the direction of this pandemic,” Garcetti said. “We are able to take these steps today because of our collective determination and sacrifice, and we should take pride in that.”
