A county in the northern part of California’s San Francisco Bay Area announced it is reinstating its mask mandate for health care workers, reversing a previous plan not to issue the order.

Sonoma County’s health officer on Tuesday announced that the mask order, which goes into effect from Nov. 18 until April 30 of next year, was implemented “given the rising risk of respiratory virus-related illnesses, such as COVID and flu.”
