The Los Angeles County Health Department declined to impose a universal public indoor mask mandate, citing a "decent decrease" in cases and hospitalizations.The Los Angeles County Health Department declined Thursday to impose a universal public indoor mask mandate, citing a "decent decrease" in cases and hospitalizations.
Supervisor Janice Hahn had joined her in opposing a mandate, saying she feared imposing such a rule would be "very divisive for L.A. County." The county entered the "high" category two weeks ago when the average daily rate of COVID-related hospital admissions rose above 10 per 100,000 residents. As of last Thursday, the rate was 11.7 admissions per 100,000 residents.Earlier this week, as residents awaited the decision, several cities -- Beverly Hills, El Segundo, Pasadena and Long Beach -- announced they would enforce an indoor mask mandate if one were implemented.
