, is intended to help slow the spread of COVID-19 by those who are infected with the virus, but are not yet showing symptoms, said county health officer Dr. Nichole Quick. “Face coverings are an additional tool that may help protect staff and patrons from COVID-19, but they are not a substitute for proven protective measures like frequent hand washing, keeping your hands away from your face, practicing social distancing and staying home,” Quick said in a prepared statement.
The county previously suggested that residents wear some type of face covering while in public, but officials continue to urge residents to refrain from purchasing N95 and surgical masks,The county’s latest recommendation stopped short of an official mandate requiring the masks for workers and the public, similar to orders put in place in other parts of Southern California in the past several days.
The city’s order also mandates that workers at most essential businesses wear face coverings, which business owners must either provide or reimburse workers for buying.
