A new health officer order in Los Angeles County has the nation’s most populous county again enacting face-covering rules more stringent than the state's or nation's.

Many medically vulnerable people are worried about how to handle public transportation now that a federal judge has struck down the CDC mask mandate.The number of coronavirus-positive hospitalizations remains at among its lowest of the entire pandemic. As of Wednesday, there were 224 coronavirus-positive patients hospitalized in L.A. County, just shy of the all-time low recorded about 10 months ago on June 12, when there were 212.

The fact that hospitalizations haven’t yet risen may be because of the customary lag between an increase in cases and the resulting rise in hospitalizations. But it’s also possible, as Ferrer hopes, that “fewer infected individuals are requiring hospital care at this time, which suggests that vaccines and therapeutics are doing a great job preventing severe disease.”

Also, there is evidence of transmission increasing in some situations. L.A. County health officials are noticing small increases in outbreaks at homeless shelters and work sites. Work settings with higher numbers of clusters of infections include those in the entertainment industry, grocery stores, factories and retail.

“We obviously have a very dangerous virus that still is in circulation that can really wreak havoc,” Ferrer said. “Because it has the ability to mutate, and in those mutations, we can get a variant that can be more destructive, more damaging, more devastating, we always are going to need to make sure that we’re being cautious and vigilant.”
