Just a month after Governor Gavin Newsom declared the state was open again after the 2020 Stay At Home order, infections are rising again, driven by the more transmissible Delta variant.
On Thursday, Los Angeles County announced that wearing a face mask at indoor public establishments, including shops, grocery stores, restaurants and workplaces, will once again be mandatory regardless of vaccination status.
The order goes into effect at midnight on Saturday necessitated, according to the county's Public Health Department, by the steadily increasing number of COVD-19 cases and number of hospitalizations.
On Thursday the county reported 1,537 new cases of infection - the highest number since early March, and seventh straight day of new cases numbers topping 1,000.
