LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles health authority cautioned that an indoor masking mandate is on track to be reimposed next week, even for the fully vaccinated, unless Covid-19 cases take a sharp drop.

A universal mandate will be put in place across the US's most-populous county after a"high" level of community-transmission for two straight weeks.

If the current trends hold, a new mandate would go into effect on July 29, according to Dr Barbara Ferrer, the county's public health director. "I think it's highly likely that we stay in high," Dr Ferrer said at a briefing Thursday ."Of all the tools we have used in this pandemic to counter the spread of Covid, indoor masking is one of the simplest, and turns out to be a very effective tool that we have to counter rapid spread of the virus."The hospital admission rate per 100,000 residents climbed to 11.4. Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.

In other parts of California, some schools and universities already re-imposed masking orders over the past couple months, including University of California campuses and the San Diego Unified School District.
