The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department plans to issue a new health officer order on Wednesday mandating universal masking indoors for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, as the spread of the Delta variant causes an uptick in COVID-19 cases across the county.
The health order will go into effect on Friday.
Public Health does not plan to send out additional information about the order until it is finalized and posted, but Santa Barbara County’s RISE program alerted members of the business community on Tuesday, including the Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce, before any notice was given to the general public.
