The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) has issued an order lifting indoor mask requirements in many places.

 

The Details:

 

Under the LACDPH's order, effective March 4, 2022, individuals are required to wear a mask in the following settings only:

  • On public transport, including planes, trains, buses, ferries, taxis and ride-shares.
  • In transportation hubs like airports, bus terminals, train stations, marinas, seaports or other ports, subway stations, or any other area that provides transportation.
  • In healthcare settings (including long-term care facilities).
  • In long-term care settings and adult/ senior care facilities.
  • In state and local correctional facilities and detention centers.
  • Shelters and cooling centers.
  • Indoors in K-12 schools and childcare (through March 11, then strongly recommended).
  • In any other outdoor location where it is the policy of the business or venue.

Masks are strongly recommended in all other indoor settings in the county. Even where masks are optional, employers must still offer well-fitting medical grade masks or respirators (such as an N95, KN95, or KF94 respirators) at no cost to employees who work indoors and in contact with others.

 

Note: Under Cal/OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standards, upon request, employers must provide respirators for voluntary use to all employees who aren’t fully vaccinated and who are working indoors or in vehicles with more than one person.

 

Next Steps:

  • Read the LACDPH's order
  • Refer to the county's guidance on masks.
  • Notify employees of any changes.
  • Watch for developments.
