“The face coverings do not have to be hospital grade but need to cover the nose and mouth. For example, bandannas, fabric masks and neck gaiters are acceptable. Fabric covers and bandannas can be washed and used again,” the county said.“When the situation changes, the rulebook changes,” Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County’s public health officer, said in a statement. “We’re seeing our numbers increasing even sooner than we predicted and that means our strategy must change too.
The mayor said everyone performing essential tasks such as as food shopping should wear homemade, nonmedical face coverings, or even bandannas, as people in other countries have done. “To be clear, you should still stay at home. This isn’t an excuse to suddenly all go out,” Garcetti said. He added that people shouldn’t use medical-grade masks, which are in short supply and are needed by healthcare workers and first responders.
Really? Was LA’s Mayor ahead of the situation three weeks ago when the Mayor allowed the marathon to be run March 8th? Thousands of runners took off from Dodger without a word of caution. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said There's no reason to cancel it.' What an idiot !
Because that really helped people in China who have been wearing masks for years.
Masks did well in China.... they always wear masks.....
Garcetti & Co. should focus on testing. Viruses can transmit through the eyes and tiny viral particles, known as aerosols, can penetrate masks.
la times is garbage. look how bs this headline is. not critical at all of the mayors failure to promote masks early on from the start. this was a complete failure and no one is holding him accountable. their is no integrity at la times. they are corrupt
dakotacdsmith orders from the CCP.
The masks on eBay and Amazon are all made in China! Pass.
The disaster supply has run out. Unless the gov supplies everyone with one, it’ll be useless. I won’t be able to get food because I’m not wearing a mask. FOH
Smart thinking!! Maybe the rest of the nation can follow!! Safe than sorry..😷

Y'all wanna cover my face...? On some coinz or some shiz...?
I don't think people should be required to wear face masks. Those should be left for medical workers. People should be allowed to chose what type of face covering they were scarves work just as well. Also people could consider going out less.
There AREN’T ANY!!
Even a simple mask will help.
you really have to take down this paywall lives are at stake and people need information
Is there something they're not telling us?
How can I buy masks, when I can't afford rent.
