Study finds people in L.A. County more willing to wear mask than other parts of U.S.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A new study out of USC found people in Los Angeles County are more willing to wear a mask compared to people in other parts of the country.

The study found 67% of people in L.A. County are likely to wear a mask when in close contact with people outside their household, and 63% wear masks while exercising outside compared to the national average of 22%.

The study also found people in Los Angeles County are less likely to come into contact with people outside their households.
