Orange County sees lower coronavirus case rate than LA County despite not having mask mandate: report
Fox News
Orange County, California, a non-mask mandate county, has a lower coronavirus case rate than neighboring Los Angeles County, which enforces mask wearing, a new report found.
The data comes as the delta variant of the coronavirus winds down in the state, after a handful of counties implemented indoor face mask policies in response to the variant. Los Angeles County was the first in the state to issue a mask mandate in July for all people, after most of California’s previous mask mandates were lifted in June.
Guidance from Orange County, meanwhile, currently recommends all residents wear masks indoors, while unvaccinated people are required to wear masks indoors, per California Department of Public Health guidance.
