Sonoma County Mask Mandate Lifted
In line with the State and most the Bay Area counties, Sonoma County has lifted universal mask requirements for most indoor public settings. Unvaccinated individuals over age 2 continue to be required to wear masks in all indoor public settings. Businesses, venue operators, and hosts may determine their own paths forward to protect staff and patrons and may choose to require all patrons to wear masks.
Though the County of Sonoma has rescinded its local masking orders, the Petaluma Health Care District advises the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidelines must continue to be followed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. They encourage everyone to move forward with caution, keeping health of self and others in mind.
