Yolo County, where Davis is located, will require people to wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status, beginning Friday.

In issuing the order, the county’s Health Department said the number of cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents has risen eightfold, from 1.2 to 10, since June 15, when the county lifted capacity limits and other restrictions on businesses and allowed vaccinated people to go unmasked in most settings. The mask mandate will not be lifted until the county’s case rate falls below 2 cases per 100,000 residents for seven consecutive days, according to a statement from the county health department. Yolo County health officials urged residents to get vaccinated, saying that nearly all the people hospitalized in the county with COVID-19 have not been inoculated.
