As COVID-19 numbers continue to plummet, Los Angeles County health officials have lifted the mask requirement for public transit including buses, trains, airports or other transportation hubs.
Los Angeles County public health officials have announced that the public transit mask mandate will be lifted as soon as Friday.
Despite the change, Department of Public Health officials are still"strongly recommending" that travelers continue using masks, even as the county remains in the"low" category of coronavirus activity level as determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with less than 100 cases per 100,000 residents.
Even with these lessened guidelines in place, masks will still be required in health care facilities, including long-term and senior care centers. Individual businesses are also still allowed to set their own masking guidelines if they feel the need to do so.
