Sheriff Villanueva: Wearing masks indoors is not backed by science, contradicts CDC guidelines
By Mary Stringini
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva is sounding off on Los Angeles County s recent decision to re-implement an indoor mask mandate for all county residents, regardless of vaccination status. Forcing the vaccinated and those who already contracted COVID-19 to wear masks indoors is not backed by science and contradicts the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Villanueva wrote in a statement released Friday.
The sheriff said that while the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (DPH) has authority to enforce the order, the underfunded/defunded Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not expend our limited resources and instead ask for voluntary compliance.
