California is bringing back a rule requiring people to wear masks indoors, a move aimed at containing a new type of the coronavirus as people gather with family and friends during the holidays.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration announced the new mandate will start Wednesday and last until Jan. 15. The order comes as the per capita rate of new coronavirus cases in California has jumped 47% in the past two weeks.

The City Council meeting is tonight at 6 pm. The meeting agenda includes the Recognition of the outgoing Mayor and the Selection of the 2022 Mayor and Vice Mayor. View the full agenda here.
