As California contends with another resurgence of the coronavirus, what should residents consider doing to protect themselves from infection? California lifted its statewide public indoor masking orders months ago. “Vaccination remains a critical element of the COVID-19 response,” the California Department of Public Health wrote in its statement. Statewide, the California Department of Public Health has not set any specific benchmarks that would see the reimposition of restrictions. In L.A. County, officials have said they would reinstitute a universal public indoor mask mandate should the region shift into the CDC’s high COVID-19 community level.
