I am vaccinated. I wear a mask as much as possible when I go out in public and even when I walk in the mornings, said San Jose resident Hae Young Lee. I don’t want to get Delta.
At the moment, there are a total of 59 cases of the Delta variant in Santa Clara County.
The county said its tracking the variant, but its not currently reimposing a community-wide mask requirement. At a state level, leaders are still not recommending vaccinated people to wear masks indoors.
The Delta variant is much more transmissible than other variants and we re seeing a 60% increase in susceptible populations, said Stanford Infectious Disease Specialist Dr. Catherine Blish.
