The State of California is reimposing a statewide forced masking order that will apply to everyone regardless of whether or not they are inoculated for Covid-19.
“This is a critical time,” Ghaly said Monday. “We have a tool we know has worked and can work. We are proactively putting this tool of universal indoor masking in place to ensure we get through a time of joy and hope without a darker cloud of despair. Californians have done this before, and we believe we can do it again.”
The new mask mandate is set to take effect Wednesday, before the California government will choose whether or not to continue it on January 15th. It will apply to all Californians statewide.
California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly excused the updated policy by citing a supposed increase in Covid-19 cases in the state since the Thanksgiving holiday.
