It now accounts for 1 in 5 infections in the United States.\nIn May, federal health officials said that fully vaccinated people no longer needed to mask up, even indoors. The advice signified a sea change in American life, setting the stage for a national reopening that continues to gain momentum.\nBut that was before the spread of the Delta variant. Worried by a global surge in cases, the World Health Organisation last week reiterated its long-standing recommendation that everyone - including the inoculated - wear masks to stem the spread of the virus.\nOn Monday (June 28), health officials in Los Angeles County followed suit, recommending that \"everyone, regardless of vaccination status, wear masks indoors in public places as a precautionary measure\".\nMs Barbara Ferrer, the county's public health director, said the new recommendation was needed because of upticks in infections, a rise in cases due to the worrisome Delta variant, and persistently high numbers of unvaccinated residents, particularly children, Black and Latino residents and essential workers.\nRoughly half of Los Angeles County residents are fully vaccinated, and about 60 per cent have had at least one dose.\nWhile the number of positive tests is still below 1 per cent in the county, the rate has been inching up, Ms Ferrer added, and there has been a rise in the number of reinfections among residents who were infected before and did not get vaccinated.\nTo the extent that Los Angeles County has managed to control the pandemic, it has been because of a multilayered strategy that combined vaccinations with health restrictions aimed at curbing new infections, Ms Ferrer said.\nNatural immunity among those already infected has also kept transmission low, she noted, but it is not clear how long natural immunity will last.\n\"We don't want to return to lockdown or more disruptive mandates here,\" Ms Ferrer said. \"We want to stay on the path we're on right now, which is keeping community transmission really low.\"\nHealth officials in Chicago and New York City said on Tuesday that they had no plans to revisit mask requirements.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":false,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":153531920,"gmtCreate":1625032981460,"gmtModify":1703850582345,"author":{"id":"3574118564601995","authorId":"3574118564601995","name":"RS142","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/22d2d9b1f352da24e6ea75b557ac987a","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3574118564601995","authorIdStr":"3574118564601995"},"htmlText":"Wear
