The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health will not reinstate a universal indoor mask mandate, the department announced today, citing slowing COVID-19 transmission countywide.

Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer, during a weekly COVID-19 briefing on Thursday, July 28, said that LA County’s data — differing from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s data — is showing a decrease in the spread of the virus and hospitalizations as a result.
