People in the city and county of Los Angeles, California have suffered under some the more extreme coronavirus crackdown measures in America. And, one of those authoritarian measures — the county's mask mandate — may be about to make a comeback under county policy to automatically reimpose the mandate if the coronavirus "community transmission" in the county is determined to have risen to what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers "high" and stay at that level for two weeks. Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer is advising that the mask mandate will return before the end of this month if the current trend of increasing "cases" continues.
