  District V News & Updates Contra Costa to Lift Masking Requirements inSome Indoor Settings on Nov. 1 With COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations declining, Contra Costa County will lift masking requirements in certain indoor settings where everyone is fully vaccinated on Nov. 1. Eligible settings include controlled spaces not open to the general public, such as: OfficesGyms and fitness centersEmployee commuter vehiclesIndoor college classesOrganized gatherings in any other indoor setting, such as a religious gathering Eligible participating businesses, organizations and hosts must verify that all patrons, employees and attendees are fully vaccinated before allowing people inside their facilities not to wear face coverings. There can be no more than 100 persons present at these facilities, and the group of those present must gather on a regular basis. Those present should also not have COVID-19 symptoms . “This will allow vaccinated people to feel safe removing their masks at the office and when they’re working out at the gym,” said Dr. Chris Farnitano, health officer for Contra Costa County. “Of course, people in these places can keep wearing masks if that makes them feel more comfortable.” Indoor-masking requirements would remain in effect for the time-being in public settings, such as bars, restaurants and retail stores until other targets are met. Masking would also still be required in indoor K-12 school . |
(MEK Note: This totally ignores the reality that vaccinated people can have Covid-19 and pass it on to others. Last time this policy was implemented back in May 2021 by the CDC and White House there was a massive surge in Covid-19 cases two weeks later which was conveniently blamed on the unvaccinated despite the fact that they were still masked and shunned from these vaccinated gatherings! Instigating this policy just at the beginning of the flu season and holidays is dangerous and might cause another surge in Covid-19)
