As the spread of the highly contagious Delta variant triggers an increase in cases statewide, a growing number of counties in California are urging residents to wear masks indoors. Los Angeles County, the most populous county in the state, has reinstated its requirement for indoor masks, while more than a dozen other counties strongly recommend them.
Statewide, unvaccinated residents over two years of age are required to wear face coverings in indoor public spaces. To learn more about the role of masks in preventing the spread of COVID-19, visit cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/effective-masks.html.
