COVID infections rising in 2 Bay Area counties

Alameda and San Mateo Counties have regressed from a “moderate” level of spread to a “substantial” one. San Mateo was in the yellow, or moderate tier for about two weeks. On Monday, the county reported a seven-day case rate of 53 per 100,000 residents, which now puts it into the orange tier that specifies substantial spread. Alameda County was in the yellow for about a week, but its case rate has now climbed to 51 cases per 100,000. Neither county meets local metrics for the removal of indoor masks because vaccination rates are below the required 80% mark.

Bay Area mask mandates: Health officials release guidelines for ending restrictions

Leave a comment

Health officers for the nine Bay Area jurisdictions that require face coverings in most indoor public spaces Thursday reached consensus on criteria to lift those orders.

The counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma and the City of Berkeley will lift the indoor masking requirement in public spaces not subject to state and federal masking rules when all the following occur:

  • The jurisdiction reaches the moderate (yellow) COVID-19 transmission tier, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), and remains there for at least three weeks
  • COVID-19 hospitalizations in the jurisdiction are low and stable, in the judgment of the health officer
  • 80% of the jurisdiction’s total population is fully vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer or Moderna or one dose of Johnson & Johnson (booster doses not considered)
  • OR Eight weeks have passed since a COVID-19 vaccine has been authorized for emergency use by federal and state authorities for 5- to 11-year-olds

Why is there an eight week window?

“Because it will take at least that long for kids to start getting their two doses, they are three weeks apart, and you need another week or so to be fully immune,” said Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, a Stanford Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Disease Physician.

Bay Area residents react to possibility of mask guidelines being eased

Cody says the metrics were designed to be simple but thorough.

“Essentially we want to ensure that we have many layers of prevention, we want to make sure that the vaccination layer is really robust before we peel back the masking layer,” Cody said.

Santa Clara County is currently in the CDC’s orange tier, but transmission is trending down.

“I think it’s going to be hard to say when we will meet all three metrics,” said Cody.

Cody says the most important metric to meet will be the vaccination requirement – adding some counties will get there faster.

“We are seeing 900 to 1,000 new first dose vaccinations across the county every single day,” said Contra Costa Health Officer Dr. Chris Farnitano.

Farnitano says if that pace keeps up, the county could reach the 80 percent mark within two to three months.

“We may be looking at December or maybe even January depending on the timing of the FDA authorization,” he said.

RELATED: Solano Co. defends past decision to keep businesses open

All Bay Area counties and the city of Berkeley have adopted these guidelines with the exception of Solano County. Health Officer Dr. Bela Matyas says he stands by his decision not to implement an indoor mask mandate.

“None of the counties that had such a mask mandate showed any benefit,” Matyas said. “All of them should have seen a reduction in disease within at most two weeks, none of them did.”

So far no Bay Area county meets the qualifications for all three metrics. Health officers say even if mandates are lifted, it won’t prevent individual businesses from imposing their own restrictions.

RELATED: SF General Hospital says 115 staff members are off schedule pending vaccine status

Separately from the other Bay Area jurisdictions, SF announced a more immediate easing of masking requirements beginning on October 15 in certain, select indoor settings where stable groups of fully vaccinated people gather. These settings include offices, gyms, and fitness centers, employee commuter vehicles, religious gatherings, and indoor college classes or other organized gatherings of individuals who meet regularly, not exceeding 100 people.

Currently every Bay Area county is in the orange tier, which means no county is eligible to ease the restrictions for three weeks.

Lifting a local indoor mask mandate would not prevent businesses, nonprofits, churches or others with public indoor spaces from imposing their own requirements.

Bay Area health officials to announce criteria for lifting regional mask mandates Thursday

Leave a comment

NOVATO, Calif. (KGO) — With COVID case rates on the decline, many wonder how long we’ll have to keep our facemasks on. Thursday, Bay Area health officers are expected to announce plans for a possible end to the region’s indoor masking mandate but the order may not end overnight.

“It’s time, it’s been 18 months,” said Adam Kovacks.

Kovacks says you’re working out at his Novato gym Sonoma Fit, you must still wear a mask, that’s not always easy, he hopes that mandate ends soon.

“If you’re still worried, wear your mask but it’s time we put the responsibility on the people, not small business,” said Kovacks.

Bay Area health officials could announce new criteria on Thursday, for easing COVID restrictions like indoor masking. That criteria may include vaccination rates, case rates and hospitalizations. Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Sara Cody told supervisors, the numbers are improving.

“The plan is to develop a set of metrics we can share across the region in order to lift indoor masking, we’re getting very close,” said Cody.

Many in the Bay Area are hoping for a target date, when wearing a mask isn’t required.

RELATED: Los Angeles passes one of the strictest COVID vaccine mandates in the US

It’s hard to breathe with the masks on,” said Jesse Tassey from Novato.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf told ABC7 News on Midday, she trusts health officers but will keep wearing her mask.

“Rule or no rule, I’ll keep wearing my mask inside restaurants, better safe than sorry,” said Schaaf.

San Mateo County officials say although vaccination rates are high it’s too early to lift masking rules.

“We know one thing is certain, COVID-19 is uncertain. I wouldn’t be surprised if two months from now, if mask orders are lifted we may be back to another mandate,” said San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa.
