Thirty-five new cases of COVID-19 were reported in Humboldt County today, bringing the total number of county residents who have tested positive for the virus to 5,045.
To limit the spread of the virus in the community, unvaccinated residents over two years of age are required by state health order to wear face coverings in indoor public places. Federal, state and local health authorities also recommend public masking indoors, regardless of vaccination status.
Therefore, many local businesses and organizations require masks before entering. Masking signage and other COVID-19 resources for businesses can be found on the “Guidance for Industry and Events” page of the Humboldt County website at https://humboldtgov.org/2911/Guidance- for-Industry-and-Events.
Public health officials continue to urge local residents to get fully immunized to protect against serious illness and death from COVID-19.
