The Los Angeles sheriff refuses to fine anyone who doesn’t wear face masks
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva announced Friday that he will not enforce a new order to bring masks indoors that will be restored to the country's most populous county amid the COVID pandemic.
County health officials decided that the indoor mask requirement would apply regardless of a person's vaccination status starting Sunday.
"Forcing vaccinated people and those who have already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks at home is unsupported by science and contradicts guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)," Villanueva said in a statement. Note.
"The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) has the authority to enforce the order, but the underfunded / financed Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will not spend its limited resources and instead demand the voluntary respect ".
"We encourage the DPH to work in partnership with the Board of Supervisors and law enforcement to establish mandates that are achievable and backed by science."
The CDC announced in May of this year that people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, which causes the COVID-19 disease, no longer have to wear masks at home.
An updated guide on the CDC website starting Friday reads:
"Fully vaccinated individuals can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically leave, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidelines." .
In short, in the end even the American law officials refuse to enforce the ordinances on the masks, then something is wrong. It means that the limit is being exceeded.
