The state Department of Public Health announced
Wednesday that it was recommending mask use for indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status, following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updating its guidelines in response to the Delta variant’s spread.
“Under the CDC’s new guidance, more than 90% of California’s population is currently in areas designated as substantial or high transmission,” the state Department of Public Health’s news release stated Wednesday.
Nevada County is among the counties listed by the CDC as having a “high” level of transmission, based on data extending through Monday for case rate and through Sunday for percent positivity.
