ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) Whether you’re vaccinated or not, Monroe County now wants you to wear a mask when you’re inside a public place, that includes buildings, stores, museums and malls.
“We re seeing people who are vaccinated getting ill and we know that although they re at a much lower chance of having a severe illness or certainly being hospitalized or worse, we know that they can still transmit the infection and this Delta variant is a new beast altogether,” explained Public Health Commissioner Dr. Michael Mendoza.
Dr. Mendoza told News10NBC the indoor mask recommendation is hopefully a temporary measure in order to get our infection rate down before the start of the school year.
