Officials said the mask order was needed to avoid disrupting in-person learning and campus activities, including graduation.
Masks may not be required in many places but they’re still encouraged, officials say, as new COVID cases continue to climb.
UCLA’s move comes several days after the Berkeley public school system ordered an indoor mask mandate for students and staff for the remainder of the school year, including indoor graduations. The surge has proved so disruptive that district administrators are again needing to fill in for teachers who are out sick with COVID-19, the school district said.
Officials also urged people to get updated on their booster shots. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week issued a recommendation that vaccinated children ages 5 to 11 get a booster shot. The CDC also formally recommended that those 50 and older, and those 12 and above who are immunocompromised, get a second booster shot if eligible.
L.A. County is recording 4.5 new weekly coronavirus-positive hospitalizations for every 100,000 residents, up from the previous week’s rate of 3.7, according to CDC data released Thursday. But that’s still less than half the threshold of 10 that would land the county in the high community level.
