California’s new mask mandate takes effect today, requiring face coverings in indoor public setting such as retail businesses and entertainment venues.
Junior Leoso, owner of Pacific Beach Training, said that he never took down the signs and documentation from the first time mask mandates went into effect.“I’m always caught in the middle because I understand the reasoning,” Leoso said of the mask mandate. “I believe that the frustration comes from the sense that maybe this isn’t going away. And, you know, it doesn’t feel like this is the progression towards the clear. It almost feels like a regression in a lot of ways.
He said they will do their part to protect their community and follow the new guidelines for the changing environment. Evidence makes it clear that masks help reduce transmission of the virus, said Dr. Mark Ghaly, California’s health and human services secretary. The coronavirus is airborne and can spread from infected people even if they are asymptomatic.
COVID-19 cases in California have risen by almost 50% in the last 2½ weeks, and hospitalizations for the virus are up by nearly 15%. County health officials across the state said they suspect those numbers could reflect the start of a winter jump in cases.
