Covid-19

The Monterey County Health Officer has announced that all people over age 12 must wear face masks or face coverings in public beginning at 12:01am on Thursday, April 30. (Parents and guardians please note: children age 2 and under MUST NOT wear face coverings.)

Reusable cloth face masks are encouraged. The use of medical masks, such as N-95 respirators and surgical masks, are discouraged because there is a shortage of those in the marketplace and health care workers and first responders need them.
