SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco residents told Fox News they're excited local mask mandates are ending this week.
Health officials last week announced that California would end its indoor mask mandate for vaccinated people Feb. 15, though face coverings would still be required in schools. Gov. Gavin Newsom implemented an indoor mask mandate in mid-December amid the omicron surge and extended it in January.
"I'm for no mask," one San Francisco resident, Nichole, told Fox News. "I think no matter what, everybody is going to encounter the virus."
"We have to start somewhere," she continued. "We can't be masked up forever."
