The number of COVID-positive patients in Los Angeles County hospitals has fallen again, dropping from 792 to 755, according to the latest state figures out Sunday.
Despite the easing of the requirement, county officials noted that individual businesses can still opt to require face coverings. People are also free to wear masks whenever they see fit, particularly in crowded settings or while interacting with people at higher risk of severe illness from the virus.
County Board of Supervisors Chair Holly Mitchell echoed that sentiment, noting that while countywide COVID metrics are improving, there are individual communities that have higher case rates and more susceptibility to the virus. The mask mandate was lifted following data released Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that officially moved the county out of the CDC's"high" virus activity category and into the"low" category. The CDC updates its county-level data every Thursday.
