In light of the new Omicron variant and holiday socializing, The State of California will be enforcing an indoor mask mandate after six months of looser restrictions.
Starting Wednesday, Dec. 15, all residents will be required to wear face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status, State’s Health and Human Services announced Monday. State Health Officials say that the mandate — which is scheduled to last through Jan. 15 — will help California blunt the effects of the omicron variant while also tamping down an apparent COVID-19 surge that’s resulted in the statewide case rate rising 47% since Thanksgiving.
The good news is that you can show your holiday spirit in even more ways with one of these snarky masks.
