In their first press conference in weeks, Los Angeles County Public Health officials announced today that Covid case numbers had “doubled over the past few weeks.”
Four weeks ago, the daily average number of cases was about 264. For the week just passed, officials said the daily average was about 571.
They stressed that those numbers are still far below where they have been for much of the past three years and promised that there were no immediate big announcements to be made about changes in associated recommendations or requirements.

I’m never going to say there’s not going to be a time when we all need to put our masks back on. I am going to say we certainly don’t all need to put our masks back on now. We are at a place where people make their own assessment.”
During the press conference, there was much focus on recent outbreaks at schools and workplaces and, as Deadline first reported, continuing requirements for masks at businesses that have experienced an outbreak.
Asked if there is an increasing number of temporary mask mandates being instituted at workplaces, Ferrer said, “No. It’s standard practice. When there’s an outbreak, our team goes in and makes an assessment. If it seems like there’s a lot of spread or potential for a lot of spread, masks are generally required…It’s a reasonable request. It usually lasts until we close the outbreak. In
