Mandatory Masking for ALL Visitors
All licensed in-patient1 facilities would be required to begin masking in all patient care areas once the Los Angeles County CDC COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level reaches medium or higher (see amended LACDPH Health Officer Order No. 2023-04-02). As of 12/29/2023, Los Angeles County has reached the medium level according to the Los Angeles County CDC COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level.
In order to protect patients in healthcare facilities and the healthcare workforce, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is updating the County’s COVID-19 Response Plan with the following requirements:
- Masking is required for all healthcare staff, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status, in patient care areas in licensed in-patient care settings2 should the Los Angeles County CDC COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level reach or exceed Medium.
- Masking is required for all visitors, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status, entering patient care areas in licensed in-patient care settings should the Los Angeles County CDC COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level reach or exceed Medium.
- This masking requirement will be in place until the Los Angeles County CDC COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level drops below the medium level for at least 2 consecutive weeks.
Masking in healthcare facilities continues to be strongly recommended for both staff and visitors within healthcare facilities even at low COVID-19 Hospital Admission Level.
