COVID-19: Not Wearing a Face Covering in Public Will Be Considered a Crime

The number of confirmed COVID-19 infections in West Hollywood has grown by three since yesterday, and now is 163. And the City of West Hollywood has announced that Sheriff’s deputies can issue citations to those who don’t where face coverings in public, which are requiring beginning Saturday.

The Los Angeles County Department of Health Department reports there have been 1,324 newly confirmed cases across the county as of noon today, which brings the total to 40,857. The Health Department says there have been 57 new deaths associated with virus, bringing that total to 1,970 thus far.

The number of confirmed infections in Beverly Hills remains static, with no increase from the 125 infections reported on Monday. The number of infections in Culver City has increased by one to 130. The number of infections in the Hollywood neighborhood increased by three to 239. The number of confirmed infections in the Melrose neighborhood increased by five to a total of 476.

The Health Department’s COVID-19 dashboard continues to report that only four West Hollywood residents have died of COVID-19-related infections. As of today it reports that 2,062 have been tested for the virus, the first time that data has been updated in several weeks.

Beginning Saturday, the City of West Hollywood will require everyone — essential workers and the general public —to wear face coverings in public, such as scarves (dense fabric without holes), bandanas, neck gaiters, or similar coverings of any other material that reduces transmission of germs anytime they are out in public. Face coverings will not be required for children under two years of age, anyone who has trouble breathing, or anyone who is otherwise unable to remove a face covering without assistance. Children between two- and eight-years-old should only wear face coverings with adult supervision.

Such coverings have been determined to reduce the likelihood that an infected person can transmit the COVID-19 virus through the air by coughing or sneezing or even talking. Some people who are infected may be unaware of it and not showing symptoms at first.

Sheriff’s deputies will monitor compliance with the face covering rule and, according to the city, “will provide education and warnings, and will cite as appropriate. Not wearing a face covering is considered a crime and individuals are subject to citation.”

In an announcement of the requirement, the city said it recommends cloth face coverings. Residents should refrain from using N95 and medical-grade masks, which should be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders.

The best protection against COVID-19 is to wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, self-isolate if you are sick, practice physical distancing (especially by staying at home) and wear a clean face covering when in contact with others from outside your household. Sheriff’s deputies will monitor compliance with the face coverings rule and “will provide education and warnings, and will cite as appropriate,” says the city announcement. Not wearing a face covering is considered a crime and individuals are subject to citation.

Businesses that can allow customers to enter must provide a cloth face covering for all employees to wear while performing duties that involve contact with other employees and or the public and to post physical distancing plans.

Residents with questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and who are looking for resources to deal with it can find answers on the City of West Hollywood’s website. Here is a list of links to sections about particular issues:

Let me get this straight. So, the govt puts me out of work — shuts down my entire industry. Then strings me along for two and a half months with the promise that I might get some unemployment benefits (as of this date, I have received none), and then, THEN, as we approach the “end of the curve”, they’re gonna fine me. Maybe arrest me for this. While they still get paid. And they still have a job. Me walking or riding down the street with out a covering on a nice sunny day is absolutely not going to make… Read more »

You cannot cite someone for not wearing a mask. It is strongly suggested but not law to wear one. When it is 80+ degrees and engaged in aggressive activity, such as running, wearing a face covering can lead to hypoxia.

WehoFan

Good luck enforcing this.

Anthony Dabiere

Remember when the only people in masks out and about doing regular things were Asians? Ask yourself, what were your thoughts at the time…I know I was thinking, “ what do they know that I don’t?”.

Attention. The helicopters are flying over WeHo looking for non maskers.

I have severe chronic COPD I wear masks due to high pollution days ,smoke, gardeers blowers, fires,and cleaning products. One year I have worn the mask while walking my dog. Sweetzer has tremendous amount of cars as a thru way I have know choice My lungs cleaner than ever. I wear the mask so acute asthma and zero breathing never happens to me again.

Three of my elderly friends have died of COVID-19. The only times they left their homes were to buy food or go to the bank, yet somehow they got the virus. Because none of us knows if we might be infected, wearing a mask is the least any of us can do to unwittingly expose another human being to this virus. It’s not about me, it’s about others; and doing what I can to protect their health. I gladly comply with this instruction until such time as there is a proven, widely available vaccine. Stay safe WeHo.

This is the biggest pack of BS we’ve ever been sold. You CANNOT catch this thing OUTDOORS if you’re six feet apart. It’s PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. PHYSICALLY. IMPOSSIBLE. Especially if it’s hot out. And no, there probably aren’t more cases. It’s just that people are getting tests. The goal was always to flatten the curve ENOUGH to wear health care workers could HANDLE the case loads. We have achieved that. Now they’ve moved the goal posts. I for one will blissfully walk my dog down the sidewalk with no mask. If someone comes towards me I will get out of their… Read more »

I would love to believe you, but before you make these claims in ALL CAPS, can you please direct us to the science that proves this? Seriously, I would love to see it because I think you’re likely right, but assuming this is fact and behaving as such is what keeps this virus so threatening. At least it sounds like you’re sensible enough to step aside and protect others, but too many are not. If everyone would at least extend that courtesy, such draconian measures won’t have to be taken.

This blog won’t let you post counter arguments so we can’t even begin to defend our claims!

WEHOville welcomes comments from people with all points of view. However, we do not post comments that made false claims, particularly those that make false claims about treatments for or causes of public health issues.

Opinions are not facts. The above post states things in absolutes at a time when even our top scientists state things as “recommendations”. If you or Marie Curie can provide a link to a hard fact, I am certain it will be posted and I would welcome that. Conspiracy theories and conjecture do nothing for anyone. I am certain masks aren’t perfect, but I am willing to do what I need to decrease risk. This isn’t a “freedom” or “rights” issue – we have an international health crisis and some of us look at things through a global lens vs.… Read more »

Vigilant

Excellent comment Steve. That would be a good practice for Wehoville to follow through with. Accuracy starts at home……..

Reply to Vigilant

WEHOville encourages all readers to alert it if they notice an error in a story. If the error is confirmed it will be corrected with a notation of the error added to the story. Op-eds must be factually correct but the opinion is that of the author, not WEHOville

DrJudyAMikovits explained it VERY well in her video–“Masks are killing some people”

SurgeonGeneral “masks not useful”

Dr. Fauci: “We Should Not Be Wearing Masks. There Are Unintended Consequences From It…”

Your comment has been published to allow you to call out your position to West Hollywood residents, but in the interest of public safety, the editor must note that there is no real scientific evidence to support the danger of masks or your claims that those various chemicals and medicines cure COVID-19

Rodrigo

Reply to Staff Report

Hank, can you point us to studies that show homemade masks are effective in stopping the spread of COVID? Your publication has no problem posting hysterical claims that those not wearing masks are putting others at risk, yet you’re very vigilant in making sure counter-arguments are excluded.

Reply to Rodrigo

Here is a link to an investigation of this question by PolitiFact, a very popular (and reputable) effort by the Tampa Bay Times to determine whether what people (especially politicians) are saying is true. PolitiFact’s research shows that wearing a mask has an impact on one’s ability to spread the virus, knowingly or unknowingly. https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/05/19/politifact-face-masks-including-homemade-ones-are-effective-covid-19-protection-experts-say/
