Bay Area health officials on Thursday are expected to announce plans for an eventual end to the region’s indoor masking mandate.
Health officials are finalizing criteria in which counties would be required to meet in order to lift the restrictions. Those criteria are likely to include case rates, vaccination rates and hospitalizations, according to officials.
“We have been discussing this among the health officers in the region, and our intention and our plan is to develop a set of metrics we all share that are common across the region as to when to lift indoor masking,” Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody said during a county supervisor meeting on Tuesday. “And we’re getting very close and are hoping to have an announcement with details by the end of this week.”
Preston Merchant, the spokesperson for San Mateo County Health, confirmed that the announcement would be held on Thursday.
Invoking a common comparison between safety features in vehicles and public health protection measures, Tzvieli said Tuesday that masks are like airbags — even those who are vaccinated might still want them around.
Counties in the Bay Area have some of the highest vaccination rates in the nation. In the six core Bay Area counties — Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Santa Clara, San Francisco and San Mateo — more than 80% of eligible residents ages 12 or older are fully vaccinated.
