A mandate to wear face coverings in indoor public places is back for millions of residents — even those fully vaccinated — in the San Francisco Bay Area as the highly contagious Delta variant causes a spike in new Covid-19 cases.
Health officers from San Francisco, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Sonoma counties and the city of Berkeley announced the decision in a joint briefing Monday, joining similar mandates in Los Angeles, Sacramento and Yolo counties that require masks indoors. The reinstated order affects more than 7 million residents of the Bay Area and will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
John Bel Edwards on Monday temporarily reinstated a statewide mask mandate for everyone 5 years and older when they are indoors and in public. The order goes into effect Wednesday. "It has become extremely clear that our current recommendations are not strong enough to deal with Louisiana's fourth surge of Covid," Edwards said."In fact, nobody should be laboring under the misapprehension that this is just another surge.
