More than half of Californians are being urged to wear masks indoors - regardless of vaccination status - as the Indian 'Delta' Covid variant continues to wreak havoc across the U.S.
At least 17 counties in the Golden State - home to 56 percent of residents - are asking people to wear face coverings in places such as grocery stores and movie theaters, reported The Los Angeles Times.
Just one of those counties, Los Angeles County, is requiring masks to be worn in these public settings.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot warned on Tuesday that she might do the same as infections continue to rise in the city.
