White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha expressed approval for Los Angeles County's decision to prepare to bring back its indoor mask mandate.
"My view on this has been very clear, which is local jurisdictions, cities, counties, states should make decisions about mask mandates because communities are different and their patterns of transmission are different," Jha explained.
"That said, CDC has very clear guidance on this as well through their COVID community levels. And the CDC recommendation is that when you're in a high zone, that sort of orange zone as L.A. County is, you know, people wearing masks indoors is really important, and it really will make a difference."
