Are Public Hand-Washing Stations Working in L.A.? Do Cops Have to Wear Face Masks, Too? We Asked Mayor Garcetti

Lexis-Olivier Ray

At yesterday’s press conference, Mayor Garcetti claimed that the maintenance of hand-washing stations “was a problem early on.” He said that today hand-washing stations are being maintained on a “daily basis.” 

I’ve been monitoring hand-washing stations since mid-March when the city first rolled out hundreds of hand-washing stations for the tens of thousands of unhoused folks living on the streets. The CDC lists hand-washing as a primary method for controlling the spread of COVID-19.
