The move comes as California reinstates a month-long indoor mask mandate starting Wednesday, Dec. 15. Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly said the mask mandate is in response to a 47% increase in coronavirus cases since Thanksgiving.
Sacramento County, Yolo County and Stanislaus County already had indoor mask mandates. Placer County did not implement an indoor mask mandate in July like other nearby counties.
More information about the indoor mask mandate can be found at the California Department of Public Health website.
