Sacramento: California brings back the rules that require people to wear a mask in the room, a movement that aims to contain a new type of coronavirus when people gather with family and friends during the holidays.
Government GOV Gavin Newsom announced a new mandate will begin on Wednesday and last until January 15.
The order came as a per capita level of the new Coronavirus case in California has surged 47% in the past two weeks.
“We know people are tired and hungry for normal circumstances.
Frankly, I also,” Secretary of Health and Human California Dr.
Mark Ghaly said Monday.
“That said, this is a critical time where we have the tools we know have worked and can work.” California lifted the mask mask throughout the state on June 15 for people who were vaccinated, dating newsom gradually as large buildings.
But since then, the regional government which covers about half of the state population has imposed their indoor mask mandate as a level of cases that soar with new variants.
The new mask mandate will cover everyone, but state officials on Monday are not clear about how it will be enforced.
Ghaly said enforcement is likely to be stronger in several places than others, but he urges California to heed the warning and wear a mask.
“We know that there will be people who don’t need to agree with this, who are tired, who is tired of being masked,” Ghaly said.
“We hope they are a little and far away, that most people see the purpose of doing this during next month as something To protect them and their community during a very difficult time.
“Newsom has issued many other coronavirus mandates, including requiring state employees, health care workers and, immediately, public school students and teachers to vaccinate.
The governor can do this because California is still operating under early emergency.
This pandemic is to get the democratic-dominated legislature to end the country’s emergency declaration.
“I think people are very frustrated with this idea that this choice must be done by one person than in the way our country and country should work ie we all together say and have the freedom to make choices for ourselves,” Kiley said.
“Gavin Newsom is taking actions far beyond what other governors or other countries.” California joined other countries with similar indoor masks, including Washington, Oregon, Illinois, New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii and New York.
But other democratic governors have opposed new restrictions, including the Governor of Public Whulado Policy last week that “emergencies’ and” public health (officials) cannot tell people what to wear.
“State officials are afraid of last winter repetitions, when the country averages more than 100 cases per 100,000 people during the winter wave of monsters from the virus when nearly 20,000 people died over the eight-week period.
But the surge before the vaccine was available.
Today, more Of the 70% of the qualified California population has been fully vaccinated by Coronavirus.
Even with increasing recent cases, the average country is slightly more than 14 cases per day per 100,000 people.
Even so, Ghaly Hospital said in several districts With a low level of vaccination still struggling with many patients, including southern California parts in Riverside, San Bernardino, Mono and Inyo District.
Ghaly warns Coronavirus inpatient often increases in a few weeks after jumping in a new case.
“We proactively place the tools.
This is from this universal indoor masking in public settings in place to ensure kit A passes through the time of joy and hopes without clouds that are darker than despair, “Ghaly said.
“California people have done this before, and of course we believe we can do it again.” California also tightened the existing testing requirements by ordering people who were not vaccinated who attended indoor events 1,000 people or more to have a negative test in one or two days, depending on the type of test.
The state also recommends tourists who visit or return to California to be tested within five days of their arrival.
