SUPERVISOR BARGER SENDS LETTER TO GOVERNOR ASKING TO ALIGN WITH CDC ON MASK MANDATE

Supervisor Kathryn Barger sent a letter to Governor Gavin Newsom today asking that the State of California immediately align with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the White House on guidance regarding masking requirements for individuals who are fully vaccinated.

“Los Angeles County has made tremendous progress vaccinating residents, including those in our hard-hit communities,” Supervisor Barger said. “Furthermore, our positivity rate is less than 1% and our case rate remains low. While we still want to keep our communities safe, I am encouraged by the new guidance from the CDC and believe that the State and Los Angeles County should immediately align with the new Federal recommendations.”
