Los Angeles County public health officials are now strongly recommending everyone to wear masks in indoor public places, regardless of vaccination status, due to an increased spread of the Delta variant.

Public Health strongly recommends people wear masks indoors in settings such as grocery or retail stores; theaters and family entertainment centers, and workplaces when you don t know everyone s vaccination status, L.A.
