California Gov. Newsom Makes Face Masks Mandatory Amid Rising COVID Cases
I am in SoCal.... Los Angeles..... San Fernando Valley
I had to go to 3 places today: Bank of America, CVS and Joann's Fabric store. Everyone I saw had a mask on. The only one not wearing a mask was a guy panhandling outside CVS.
(By the way, Joann's is selling masks if anyone still needs one.... double layer cotton with a filter pocket, washable, $3.99)

"Our numbers are going up, not going down. Hospitalization numbers are just starting to creep back up, and I'm very concerned by what we're seeing," Newsom told ABC 7.
"We think the most impactful thing we can do, short of going back to a stay-at-home order, is wearing face coverings when we can't practice physical distancing," the governor added.

He did not address how the order will be enforced.
