LA County 'strongly recommends' masks indoors over Delta variant, regardless of vaccination status
Fox News
Los Angeles County health officials on Monday are recommending everyone wear a mask in indoor public places – regardless of whether they’ve been vaccinated for COVID-19 -- due to the rapid spread of the highly contagious Delta variant.
"Until we better understand how and to who the Delta variant is spreading, everyone should focus on maximum protection with minimum interruption to routine as all businesses operate without other restrictions, like physical distancing and capacity limits," the statement read. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted the Delta variant is now responsible for roughly one in every five new COVID-19 cases across the U.S.– a jump from one in every 10 a week ago.More Related News
