SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco Bay Area health officials on Friday urged residents to again wear masks inside public buildings, offices or businesses regardless of whether they are vaccinated.
The counties of San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Alameda, Contra Costa, Sonoma and the city of Berkeley stopped short of requiring masks indoors. But officials in those localities said wearing them will ensure all unvaccinated people are masked in those settings.
The region stopped requiring those who have been vaccinated to wear a mask indoors last month when California fully reopened its economy and did away with social distancing and capacity limits for indoor businesses and restaurants.

Biotech jobs are one of the most promising career paths for people who are into life sciences and those who dream of creating change in the world through developing breakthrough medicines and therapeutics.

Experts project that the global biotechnology market value will reach $727.1 billion by 2025. Across the globe, venture capital firms invested about $16.8 billion in private drug development in 2018 and are expected to increase as the world grapples with a pandemic. Also, the biotech employment rate will grow by 5 percent from 2019 to 2029.
