One of the articles I read recently about our current COVID-19 situation described it as a feeling of whiplash. I am not sure I would go that far, but we do seem to find ourselves in new territory yet again. Sure, we have experienced surges before, but this time many people have already been vaccinated, so the guidelines are different. If this has left you a little confused about what rules have changed and how, here is a quick overview:
The County of San Diego (including the City of Carlsbad) is following state mask guidance.
Masks required indoors for those not fully vaccinated.
Masks recommended indoors if you are fully vaccinated.
Other California counties have begun to require masks indoors for everyone regardless of vaccination status, as have some companies and organizations. As you go about your business, pay attention to signs about mask wearing to see if it’s required.
Vaccinations increasing
The number of people getting their first shots has increased the last couple of weeks. The county has reached 70% vaccination among those 12 and older.
