LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Despite Los Angeles County easing its indoor mask mandate for vaccinated people, face masks will remain mandatory inside all L.A. County courthouses, officials said Thursday.
All people over the age of 2 will continue to be required to wear face masks over their nose and mouth while in a county courthouse, regardless of vaccination status, according to L.A. Superior Court officials.
“While there are hopeful signs that the winter surge has subsided with a decrease in Omicron cases, test positivity and hospitalizations, the court will remain vigilant in providing safe access to justice in the nation's largest trial court,” Presiding Judge Eric C. Taylor said in a statement.
“When you come to our courthouses, you must wear a face mask. However, the court does not require the public to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test to access justice.”
Court officials urged people with disabilities that prevent them from wearing face masks to seek an accommodation under California Rules of Court in advance of appointments or court appearances.
