Bay Area counties, except Santa Clara, loosening indoor mask requirments

Fully vaccinated people will no longer need to wear masks in many indoor settings in much of the Bay Area, beginning Feb. 16. Only Santa Clara County announced that it will keep the mask mandate in place for vaccinated people. However, everyone must still wear a mask on public transit and in schools and high-risk settings in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, San Francisco, Solano and Sonoma counties.
