Alameda County residents will know by the end of the week whether their children will need to wear masks in school, county health officer Dr. Nicholas Moss told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday.
If Alameda County wants to maintain its own mask mandate for schools, county health officials will need to issue a new local health order. On Monday, California officials announced the state’s mask mandate for schools will end March 11.Public indoor masking requirements for unvaccinated people ended Monday. Moss said many community members want the school mask mandate to end.Masks are still required in health care facilities, long-term care facilities and jails and prisons.
In his past work as a doctor, he has treated HIV patients, and he was asked how he would talk to his patients about masking in general. “There is no finish line,” he said, adding “we need to continue to stay vigilant” to waves and variants. Currently, hospitals in the county are caring for 139 people with COVID-19 and 24 of those are in intensive care units. This winter, ICUs did not face the burden that they did last year, Moss said.
