Los Angeles hopes new mask mandate will reverse virus spike

San Francisco Bay Area health officials last week urged residents to again wear masks inside public buildings, offices or businesses regardless of whether they are vaccinated. The counties of San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa and Sonoma and the city of Berkeley stopped short of making face coverings a requirement.

Los Angeles County's mask rule, announced Thursday, follows a winter where the region experienced a massive surge in infections and deaths, with hospitals overloaded with COVID-19 patients and ambulances idling outside, waiting for beds to open.Los Angeles County reported a caseload of 1,827 on Saturday - the eighth straight day with more than a thousand new cases. On Jun 15, when the state reopened, county health officials reported just 210 new cases.
