With COVID-19 transmission falling, Los Angeles County today lifted its requirement that face masks be worn on buses, trains and other mass transit vehicles, as well as at airports and other transportation hubs.
County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said masks will remain only “strongly recommended” aboard mass transit as long as the county stays in the federal government’s “low” COVID activity level and the weekly infection rate remains below 100 new cases per 100,000 residents. The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority touted the lifting of the requirement Friday morning on Twitter and thanked riders for adhering to the previous rule.
The change to the transit masking rule coincided with Friday’s overall easing of mask rules in the state and county. The easing means that masks are no longer required in correctional facilities, homeless shelters or cooling centers.
