Hospitalizations rose to a 192 daily average for the county of more than nine million residents. These numbers move the county&#8217;s COVID-19 activity level to &#8220;medium,&#8221; as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Ferrer fears the city is on track to reach a &#8220;high&#8221; level by next week, which would trigger a mask mandate.<\/p>\n<p>Wearing masks, particularly cloth masks, has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/coronavirus\/hubris-exposed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">little effect<\/a> on the spread of COVID-19, studies show. Nearly half of parents, meanwhile,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/coronavirus\/poll-nearly-half-of-parents-say-masks-at-school-hurt-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">say<\/a> forcing children to wear masks at school has hurt their educational, relational, and mental development, a poll found earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>Ferrer nevertheless said that masking, along with &#8220;being up to date on vaccines and boosters,&#8221; are &#8220;common-sense mitigation strategies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is this common line of thinking that the pandemic is over and COVID is no longer of concern, but these numbers clearly demonstrate that COVID is still with us,&#8221; Ferrer said.<\/p>\n<p>No county in the United States mandates masking at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles County is poised to reinstate indoor mask mandates if a recent surge in COVID-19 cases continues, county public health director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday.<br \/>\nThe post Los Angeles Poised To Reinstate Indoor Mask Mandate appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1262,"featured_media":1760192,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1760189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1760189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1760189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1760189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1760192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1760189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1760189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1760189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
