Recent increase in COVID-19 cases prompt judgment call
IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The Imperial County Public Health Department (ICPHD) announced Friday health officials are recommending the continued use of masks/face coverings in indoor public settings. Their recommendation comes as a result of recently increasing coronavirus-related cases across the state.
California Department of Public Health currently requires unvaccinated individuals to wear a mask indoors. The ICPHD s new recommendation requires everyone, even if vaccinated, to wear a face covering.
Specifically within the Valley, there has been an increase in COVID-19 diagnoses amongst children 17 years and younger. This age group makes up about 29% of the Imperial County cases in the last two weeks.
EL CENTRO â Not long after Los Angeles reinstated its indoor mask mandate, Imperial County health officials issued a statement recommending residents here do the same.
Although the recommendation has not risen to the level of a local health order yet, Imperial County Public Health Department is concerned about a statewide rise in COVID-19 cases.
The department said that over the past week, California has averaged 2,678 new cases and 23 new deaths per day.
â Due to the statewide increase in COVID-19 cases, the Imperial County health officer (Dr. Stephen Munday), as a proactive and precautionary measure, strongly recommends the use of masks/face coverings indoors in Imperial County, regardless of vaccination status,â the health department said in a release.
