YOU STILL NEED A MASK

California's workplace safety board late Wednesday walked back a vote it took just last week to relax COVID-19 rules on masks and social distance, instead choosing to leave in place standards from the peak of the pandemic that require employees to wear masks whenever they are less than six feet away from someone else.

"Immediate action is also required to protect the public interest to avoid confusion regarding the requirements of the workplace safety standards, which would make both enforcement and compliance unduly difficult," board staff said in a letter calling for Wednesday's meeting.

Earlier Wednesday press call, Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly outlined a few places Californians will have to wear a mask after the reopening:

— Public transit (Airplanes, buses, taxis, subways, as well as hubs such as airports and bus terminals)

— Indoors in K-12 schools and childcare settings (For now. The state is monitoring the federal guidance, Ghaly said)

— Health care

— Correctional facilities and detention centers

— Homeless shelters, including cooling centers

The state's updated guidance aligns with the federal recommendation, Ghaly said. Those who are not fully vaccinated will still be required to wear masks indoors in public settings.

Masking children is absolutely disgusting. These fidiots burned the country to the ground by agenda and junk science. I also see so many all alone masked up so they are broken people. If “science” and guv told them to,they would jab themselves every week and wear the mask 24 hours a day. This is all pure insanity that even swallowed up many Freeps.
