New COVID-19 Guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health

The Guidance for Early Childhood Education Providers – Requirements and Best Practices has been updated 3/14/22. Recent updates are highlighted in yellow on the document:

Masking indoors by all visitors, employees, and children over 24 months of age is strongly recommended but no longer required. Individual ECE providers, programs, and facilities may retain more restrictive policies.
Employers are required to offer all employees highly protective masks including surgical (or medical grade) masks and respirators (such as N95, KN95 and KF94) for their voluntary use.

See our Best Practices for Businesses for Mask Signage for your use as appropriate.

See our ECE COVID-19 Toolkit website for more information and resources.

Other pertinent information and resources can be found on the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health website at http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/

Thank you for your ongoing efforts to protect the health and well-being of Los Angeles County residents.
