Opinion: Newsom slowly unwinds mandates
On Monday, it was announced that the state would “strongly recommend” but no longer mandate the wearing of masks by anyone, including people not vaccinated against COVID-19, in most indoor settings. It was also noted that masks would no longer be required in schools after March 11. “Masks are an effective tool to minimize spread of the virus and future variants, especially when transmission rates are high,” Newsom said in a statement.
This month, a proposal by Sen. Melissa Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, to terminate the governor’s state of emergency will be taken up in committee.
