— Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger called on officials to alter the mask mandate after Mayor Eric Garcetti and Gov. Gavin Newsom were pictured mask-less with Laker legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson during the NFC Championship at SoFi Stadium.“Let’s do away with blanket COVID-19 masking policies — they don’t make a difference when they’re not consistently followed or enforced,” Barger said in a statement.
Garcetti’s office told City News Service that “the mayor was wearing his masks during the game and removed it for a brief moment to take a few photos. Newsom gave a similar statement and said he was “very judicious” about wearing his mask during the game and said he only removed it momentarily to take the photo.
“There’s not an outcry by Public Health this morning saying ‘Oh my God the sky is falling the numbers are going to go up,” she said. “It was radio silence which tells me they recognize it should be more of a strong recommendation which I strongly recommend.”
