Yesterday, Los Angeles County reached a significant milestone with almost all sectors and businesses being able to return to usual operations with some limited exceptions.
The LA County Health Officer Order was modified to align with the State on masking guidance, requirements for workplaces to adhere to Cal/OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards, and sector-specific protocols that remain in place for indoor K-12 schools, day cares, camps, and high-risk congregate settings. Currently, Cal/OSHA standards continue to require distancing and masking for all employees.
It is important to note that the Health Order urges everyone, especially those who are not or cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19 to continue to exercise caution and good judgment as physical distancing requirements and capacity limitations are removed.
Masks are not required for fully vaccinated people, except in the following settings where masks are required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status:
Public transit and in transportation hubs,
Indoors in K-12 schools, childcare and other youth settings,
Healthcare settings, including long term care facilities,
State and local correctional facilities and detention centers, and
Homeless shelters, emergency shelters, and cooling centers.
Masks are required for unvaccinated people in indoor public settings and businesses. This includes:
Retail, restaurants, theatres, family entertainment centers, meetings, and state and local government offices serving the public.
Everyone can remove their masks outdoors, except for people who are not fully vaccinated attending large outdoor events.
In settings where masks are required only for unvaccinated individuals, businesses, venue operators or hosts may choose to:
Provide information to all patrons regarding vaccination requirements and allow vaccinated individuals to self-attest to their vaccination status before they enter,
Implement vaccine verification to determine whether individuals are required to wear a mask, OR
The County’s travel guidance was modified to align with State and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance on travel. Please do not travel if you are sick, you have a recent positive COVID-19 viral test result, or you are waiting for results of a COVID-19 viral test after being exposed to the virus. View the LA County Travel Advisory and Guidance for more information.
