SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Sacramento residents are once again being asked to disguise themselves indoors as the county’s COVID-19 case rate increases and the delta variable increases.
On Thursday, the Sacramento County Public Health Officer recommended that fully vaccinated people begin again to wear a face mask indoors in places where vaccination verification is not required.

This means that the use of masks is highly recommended in public places such as a grocery store or restaurant, but not in a workplace where employers require self-certification of vaccination status.
County officials say the increase in daily COVID-19 cases is due in part to the delta variant.

“The significant increase in cases is concerning — as is the number of people who choose not to be vaccinated,” Sacramento County Public Health Officer Olivia Cassiri said in a statement.
Sacramento County leads the state in COVID virus infection rates.
Health leaders are urging people to get vaccinated. Only 47 percent of Sacramento County residents have been vaccinated.
