Masking Requirements Remain in L.A. County

While the County’s metrics continue to remain low and stable, there continues to be COVID-19 transmission in California, particularly among those who are not fully vaccinated. For that reason, the State will be keeping its current masking guidance until June 15, and Los Angeles County will do the same and remain in alignment with the Los Angeles County Health Officer Order of May 3. It is important to note that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC announcement last week was not meant to eliminate current safety modifications at local and state levels, and the CDC acknowledged the importance of maintaining local protections.

Masks are still required for everyone at:

• Large events, public transportation, retail, and business establishments

• Workplaces (under Cal/OSHA masking/distancing requirements)

Masks are still required for all unvaccinated people:

• Outdoors anytime distancing cannot be maintained

Masks are still not required for fully vaccinated people:

• Outdoors unless attending crowded events

• Indoor and outdoor visits with other fully vaccinated people and with unvaccinated people from one household without high risk people
