Bay Area reinstates COVID mask orders in healthcare settings. Will L.A. follow?

To this point, however, Los Angeles County has not taken that same step. Rather, the county Department of Public Health issued a health order in September requiring healthcare workers to either get both the flu and updated COVID-19 vaccines or mask up when working in patient care areas.
