San Pedro, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn is calling the new LA County Public Health Order which relaxes the existing indoor mask mandate a “welcome step in the right direction.” The new order will allow businesses verifying vaccination status to make masking optional for fully vaccinated individuals.
“I still think that the better and less confusing approach would be to fully align with the State of California, but this is a welcome step in the right direction as our cases decline and we learn to live with this virus,” said Supervisor Hahn.
The new LA County mask rule differs from the State of California’s guidelines which recently made indoor masking optional for all vaccinated individuals in most indoor settings.
