* The recommendation comes a month after California dropped its mask mandates
* Dr. Muntu Davis said at a virtual press conference that a public health order requiring masks indoors will go into effect Saturday
* The county has been recording more than 1,000 new cases each day for a week, and there is now 'substantial community transmission'
* 'Something is different. This is different than what we´ve seen the entire pandemic,' said Jennielynn Holmes, head of homelessness services at Catholic Charities in Santa Rosa, which has seen soaring cases
* Holmes and city officials had said last week the outbreak was caused by the delta variant, which is far more contagious than the original strain of the virus
* County officials said they had not confirmed that and need more time to review the infections
A rapid and sustained increase in COVID-19 cases in the nation's largest county requires restoring an indoor mask mandate even when people are vaccinated, Los Angeles County's public health officer said Thursday.
Dr. Muntu Davis said at a virtual press conference that a public health order requiring masks indoors will go into effect Saturday.
'This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,' he said.
Davis didn't fully detail what he said would be some exceptions but said for example, people could still go out to eat and take off their masks only while eating and drinking.
The county has been recording more than 1,000 new cases each day for a week, and there is now 'substantial community transmission,' Davis said.

Psaki Admits Biden Admin Censoring Americans: “We’re Flagging Problematic Posts For Facebook That Spread Disinformation” (VIDEO)
"White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday casually admitted the federal government is censoring American citizens.
“We’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General’s office,” Psaki said. “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.”
This is a clear violation of the First Amendment, but we are living in a lawless banana republic."
More and more people are calling America banana republic.
