Governor Newsom announced this week that the State Indoor Mask Mandate will expire on Tuesday, February 15, mainly due to a 65% drop in COVID-19 cases since the peak of the Omicron variant back in January.  This means that fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear a face mask indoors; however, unvaccinated individuals are still required to wear a face mask.

The City Council of Cathedral City decided at its February 9th meeting to continue to follow State guidelines with regards to the coronavirus and all mask requirements.
