SANTA BARBARA COUNTY EXTENDS HEALTH OFFICER ORDER REQUIRING USE OF FACE COVERINGS INDOORS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 |
|
The Health Officer Order for indoor mask use, regardless of vaccination status, has been extended in Santa Barbara County.
As of October 28, 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has categorized the COVID-19 community transmission level as Substantial in California and Santa Barbara County. The CDC recommends that in areas with Substantial or High community transmission rates, fully vaccinated individuals wear a face-covering in public indoor settings.
As of October 23, 2021, the County has a case rate of 10 per 100,000 and a test positivity of 2.8%.
In order for our local health officials to consider rescinding the indoor mask mandate, our county case rate should be 6 cases per 100,000 people or lower for two consecutive weeks. Click here for the full press release.
