In response to lack of masks at the Emmys, LA County Department of Public Health says its indoor mask mandate does not apply to film, TV, music productions

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has issued a statement saying that while mask-wearing is mandatory indoors, there is an exception for film, TV, and music productions, and the Emmys represent a television production.

The LA County Department of Public Health website plainly states that people must wear masks at indoor public settings, regardless of their vaccination status.

TheBlaze reached out to the department for a comment about the lack of masks at the Emmys despite the indoor mask-wearing requirement.

LA County's Health Officer order requires everyone to wear a mask indoors, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Public Health was informed that each of these persons had a verified negative PCR test 48 hours prior to the show.

The Emmys reached out to Public Health in advance to share their safety protocols, which exceeded the baseline requirements for television and film productions.

Public Health will continue review the protocols of future large television production events and prescribe additional safety modifications to mitigate risk of COVID-19 transmission.
