Q&A: What will change with California’s COVID mask rules?

Starting Feb. 16, people who are vaccinated won’t be required to wear a face mask in most indoor public settings. The mask requirement will remain for the unvaccinated.Yes, face masks still will be required for everyone regardless of vaccination status in higher-risk settings. Those include public transit, health care facilities, emergency heating and cooling centers and congregate-living settings, including long-term care, homeless shelters and correctional facilities.

universal indoor masking by all students, staff, teachers and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status. California health officials Monday said that they are “continuing to work with education, public health and community leaders to update masking requirements at schools to adapt to changing conditions and ensure the safety of kids, teachers, and staff.”Many others do, but that is changing.

Apparently our county is an island…everyone around us will drop it if vaccinated. We are still stranded.

Nothing! As long the health officials in the counties can overrule the state’s rule!
