CALIFORNIA — Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer said at a press conference Thursday that wearing face masks is ‘mandatory’ when outdoors for all residents.
“Masks are in fact mandatory across the entire county when you are outside of your home, not with members of your household, and in any kind of contact with other people,” Ferrer said. “Our health officer orders are very clear.”
“As I’ve noted before, the reason you wear a cloth face covering is so you can protect other people from your respiratory droplets.”
Over 10 million residents in the Democrat-run county are already under a new stay-at-home order, which has no end date.
