California’s Bay Area has reissued a “limited” mask mandate as COVID-19 and flu cases are rising.
The mandate reportedly requires masks to be worn in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities.
The mandates become effective November 1 and will continue through the end of March or April 2025.
Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Napa counties have all reinstated the requirements.
