LOS ANGELES (KNX) – The Superior Court of Los Angeles County announced Friday it will lift its mandatory face mask order on April 4.
“For two years, the Court has followed the guidance and recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the LADPH, while balancing public health and safe access to justice in the nation’s largest trial court,” Presiding Judge Taylor said.
“Since the winter COVID-19 surge peaked in LA County in mid-January, LADPH indicates that ‘case and test positivity rates and hospitalizations have consistently declined.’ These benchmarks have guided the Court’s measured approach during the pandemic.”
The court added it will still recommend the usage of masks, especially for those who are at risk. Presiding Judge Taylor also said he still endorses the usage of remote courtroom appearance technology and service options.
The announcement comes just days after the mask mandate for students and staff at Los Angeles Unified School District schools was lifted.
