Bay Area counties reinstate mask mandate, joining other cities and states as Covid-19 cases surge
CNN
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.More Related News
