"In California, starting March 1, masks will no longer be required for unvaccinated individuals, but will be strongly recommended for all individuals in most indoor settings."

California Governor just issued a press release few minutes agoon the updated guidance regarding masks.

"In California, starting March 1, masks will no longer be required for unvaccinated individuals, but will be strongly recommended for all individuals in most indoor settings. After March 11, in schools and child care facilities, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended. Masks will still be required for everyone in high transmission settings like public transit, emergency shelters, health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities. As always, local jurisdictions may have additional requirements beyond the state guidance."

Any press release from the Humboldt Public Health, City of Eureka or Humboldt Superior Court will be added to this post.

After Newsom's press release, Humboldt County Public Health Director Sofia Pereira said, “We know masking reduces the spread of COVID-19 in our community and across the state. We join the state in strongly recommending wearing a mask indoors, regardless of your vaccination status.”
