Los Angeles County’s COVID-19 numbers have the county teetering on the brink of bringing back an indoor mask mandate next month.
Shoppers, some wearing masks, some not, make their way along Santee Alley in Los Angeles on December 6, 2022.
On a statewide basis, the Washington State Department of Health has the authority to issue a mask mandate across Washington. The DOH already requires masking in health care and long-term care facilities, as well as correctional centers. The department told KIRO Newsradio in an email that it currently has no plans to bring back a statewide mandate.
Lewis said it is a good idea to have a mask on at the grocery store and at school. Especially this time of year, if you are going out to any holiday events, shopping for gifts, or attending parties, he also suggests you bring out that mask.
