"As California experiences a downturn in certain health metrics, including case rates, test positivity, and hospitalizations, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH) are reassessing and adjusting their health and safety guidelines, specific to schools and mega events. Effective February 16th, masks are no longer required while outdoors for K-12 Schools, Youth Sports, or in Childcare settings, per the LACDPH Health Order update (Issue Date: Feb. 15, 2022). Masking is still recommended at crowded outdoor events. All individuals on campus will continue wearing masks indoors, but will no longer need to wear one while outside - during outdoor physical education, on the playground, etc." - Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
