Masks will no longer be required, but will be 'strongly recommended' in California schools, according to updated guidance issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday.
UCSF's Dr. Bob Wachter reviewed the plan and says he believes the state will need to prioritize two aspects of this plan moving forward. Here's what he says is most important.
California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly will give an update on the new mask guidance at 1 p.m. "California continues to adjust our policies based on the latest data and science, applying what we've learned over the past two years to guide our response to the pandemic. Masks are an effective tool to minimize the spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high. We cannot predict the future of the virus, but we are better prepared for it and will continue to take measures rooted in science to keep California moving forward," said Gov.
