Recent Mask Wearing Guidelines

Good Morning!

Yesterday morning we received this email from the LA County Health Department concerning mask wearing. Since it is short and to the point, we have decided to share it in its entirety. There has been some confusion around the CDC orders, but we at Howie’s are under the county of LA’s jurisdiction.

We are as anxious as you to get beyond this pandemic and all its residual effects, physical and emotional, so please be considerate of others. We appreciate your patience.
