As California’s mask mandate returned on Dec. 15 for indoor public spaces, some Orange County residents said they’re “not going to abide,” while others support the law.

The statewide mask mandate for all residents, regardless of vaccination status, will remain in place until Jan. 15. Officials say it was reintroduced after a surge in COVID-19 since Thanksgiving.
