“I wore my mask the entire game and when people ask for a photograph I hold my breath and put it [mask] here and people can see it. There’s a 0% chance of infection from that,” Garcetti said.
The photos were criticized by many online. But Garcetti and Newsom responded to critics by saying they only removed their masks to take a photo. "I wore my mask the entire game and when people ask for a photograph I hold my breath and put it [mask] here and people can see it. There’s a 0% chance of infection from that," Garcetti said during a press conference at SoFi Stadium Wednesday.
"It’s funny, on the way out, I had friends who said ‘you seem like the only guy wearing the mask the entire game’ and I woke up the next morning to that shock," he added. Newsom addressed the criticism"The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should," Newsom said regarding the mask. Los Angeles County is still under a mask mandate that affects all indoor public settings and outdoor ‘Mega Events’ of more than 5,000 people, and SoFi Stadium additionally has a mask policy. Specifically for the NFC game, the stadium handed out KN-95 masks.Following Sunday's game, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger called for a reevaluation of the COVID-19 mask mandate.
"What I saw at the last game was well over 70% of people were not adhering to the mask mandate and it wasn’t being enforced," Barger stated. Ferrer responded on Wednesday that the department would reevaluate when COVID-19 transmission in the county goes below the "substantial" or "high" classification.
