Operative words
Requires face masks to be worn by all persons, regardless of vaccination status, while in all indoor public settings and businesses.... this Order reinstates masking by all, regardless of vaccination status, in effort to slow the increasing trends in and level of transmission of COVID-19 currently being seen in Los Angeles County.... universal indoor masking is the least disruptive and most effective measure to take while increasing vaccination rates; this is an important safety directive that can be implemented without impacting normal business capacity and operations.
