LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- New requirements for wearing face masks in Los Angeles take effect Monday at LAX and on local public transit.

The airport says the face coverings can be bandanas, scarves, T-shirts, or other fabric materials held in place.
Also starting Monday, a number of airlines will make face coverings mandatory on flights, including on Spirit, American, Southwest and Alaska Airlines.
