In order to prevent and control the epidemic, the city of Los Angeles requires citizens to wear masks for travel

China News Service, April 10, according to the US "World Daily" report, recently, the Mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti (Eric Garcetti) announced that since April 10, all citizens have to go out shopping, see a doctor, etc. "When doing activities, wear masks or other things that cover your nose and nose to protect employees in the workplace and slow down the spread of the new coronavirus.

On the other hand, Los Angeles County has so far only recommended that people wear masks or cover their noses and noses when they go out, but the word "mandatory" is not used. But whether it is Los Angeles City or Los Angeles County, people are not recommended to buy N95 masks, so as not to affect the source of medical personnel to protect personal equipment.

The city of Los Angeles also requires businesses belonging to the "must-service" category, such as workers in supermarkets and other places must wear masks, and employers must provide masks or subsidies for employees, otherwise they will face fines.

The order refers to the citizens of Los Angeles going out to supermarkets, pharmacies, hardware stores, laundry, restaurants, hotels or taxis, shared cars and other businesses that provide necessary services for life. They must wear masks or scarves to cover their noses and noses, because It is often impossible to keep a distance in these places. This mandatory mask wearing order does not include those who go out and exercise alone.

Although this order is mandatory, Gacheti said, "Our philosophy is not to arrest or fine people who violate the order, mainly because of personal consciousness."

The Los Angeles City Government did not require people to wear N95 or medical masks. The reason is that we do not want to make the first-line medical institutions more in short supply. But said that if someone sees someone wearing N95 masks outdoors, they should not be considered as violating the regulations.

In addition, according to foreign media reports, Gacheti said that merchants can also refuse customers without masks to enter. (Wang Ruoran)
