After the 1000 new COVID-19 patients have been identified for six consecutive days, the California authorities have made it mandatory to wear masks to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus, and the locality will be effective from 11:59 PM on Saturday.
According to the news agency Rotters, the new restrictions are indicative of the fact that the public health officials of the second largest city in the United States are struggling to deal with the infection caused by the highly infectious delta type. Only 10 million people are not in Los Angeles, but in recent days, many areas of the United States have been forced to make masks mandatory.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said on Twitter on Thursday that ‘the businesses and public gatherings are in four places, we are asking to wear masks. We have not received the vaccine or everyone should wear masks. Then we can stop the rise of infection.’ The city's hospitals have also been able to stop the number of COVID-19 patients. The previous week, there were 275 Covid patients admitted to hospital in Los Angeles, this week, it has 400 people, and 9 people have died of the coronavirus on Wednesday. The next day, more than 1,000 new patients have been identified in this city in California.
