February 14, 2022 – Dr. Caryn K. Slack, Mono County Local Health Officer, has issued an Order rescinding the “Face Coverings For All While in Public” Order issued on August 6, 2021.  Effective February 16, 2022, Mono County Public Health will align with the guidance set forth by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and remove any local Health Officer Orders related to COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

On February 7, CDPH announced that it would be lifting its statewide mask mandate for vaccinated residents in indoor public spaces on February 16, 2022.

Masks will still be required for unvaccinated individuals indoors, and for everyone in the following select settings:

• Public Transit
• K-12 Schools
• Hospitals
• Skilled Nursing Facilities

“We continue to urge individuals that are feeling ill to remain home, wear a mask when in public, and test for COVID-19,” said Dr. Slack.  “While our local infection rate has improved, transmission and spread will still occur, and we ask residents and visitors to self-monitor for symptoms, and respond accordingly.”
