California brings back Mask Mandates in several Counties

Mask mandates are back yet again in some parts of California. Yes the same mask mandates that have already failed repeatedly since 2020 are being reinstated in the Bay Area ahead of winter.

Outkick reports: Local news in San Francisco reported on Thursday that a number of counties in the Bay Area are reinstating mask mandates in several settings through *at least* March 2025.

That’s at least five months of masking in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo and Napa counties, starting November 1, 2024.

Those counties cover a population of over 5.5 million people; roughly the same population as Minnesota and just a few hundred thousand behind Colorado.

Those people who go to hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and any other healthcare-related facility will be forced to mask through the start of spring 2025.
