LOS ANGELES, CA Breaking ranks with her county s public health agency, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger Friday called on the governor to immediately relax COVID-19 mask-wearing requirements to align with eased guidelines announced by federal authorities for fully vaccinated people. Los Angeles County has made tremendous progress vaccinating residents, including those in our hard-hit communities, Barger said in a statement. Furthermore, our positivity rate is less than 1% and our case rate remains low. While we still want to keep our communities safe, I am encouraged by the new guidance from the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and believe that the state and Los Angeles County should immediately align with the new federal recommendations.
