L.A. County Guidelines for Wearing Masks
For the latest updates from the Department of Public Health, visit:
- It is important for everyone to continue to wear masks indoors and in crowded outdoor places. Masks help protect both you and others from spreading COVID-19.
-
In Los Angeles County, everyone 2 years of age and older must wear a mask in all indoor public places and at outdoor Mega Events, whether they have been vaccinated or not. See Mask Wearing Rules and Recommendations for other situations when masks must be worn.
- An effective mask has both good fit and good filtration. A good fit means that the mask covers your mouth and nose and fits snugly against the sides of your face and your nose. Good filtration means the material that the mask is made of blocks the virus well. You can get good filtration by wearing a mask that has several layers made of certain materials.
-
While all masks provide some level of protection, well-fitting respirators (e.g., N95 and KN95) provide the best protection. Wearing a highly protective mask is important for high risk situations and for people at increased risk for severe disease.
