Starting Saturday night, residents will again be required to wear masks in indoor public spaces, regardless of their vaccination status. Between Dec. 7 and June 7, the unvaccinated accounted for 99.6% of L.A. County’s coronavirus cases, 98.7% of COVID-19 hospitalizations and 99.8% of deaths. Long Beach, which has its own independent public health department, will align with L.A. County’s health order. For the weeklong period that ended that day, L.A. County averaged 173 new coronavirus cases a day. Only 52% of all L.A. County residents are fully vaccinated, while nearly 60% have received at least one shot.
