Yolo county urges vaccinated people to mask up indoors

The highly transmissible delta variant has prompted Yolo County to urge residents to wear masks indoors again.

“I am erring on the side of caution to slow the spread of the highly infectious delta variant,” said Dr. Aimee Sisson, the health officer for the county, in a press release on Wednesday.

Sisson “strongly recommended” that fully vaccinated people, along with those who are 65 and older or immunocompromised, wear masks in indoor public areas as a “precautionary measure,” according to the press release.

Yolo County is located northeast of the Bay Area in the Sacramento Valley. Los Angeles is the only other county in California to recommend vaccinated people wear masks; it made those recommendations at the end of June.

Hopefully so! The biggest problem we have is not with the people who live here, but with people from outlying areas who come here to shop or eat at restaurants. We have remained masked indoors until just the past few weeks, so businesses will just have to backtrack slightly and start enforcing mask wearing again. Many of us who live here have never stopped masking indoors, so we will just carry on.

MASK ON MORONS! Don't be fucking stupid. We could really put a dent in this if people would take BASIC health measures to not pass around this deadly virus. Put some teeth into it!
