Updates from the Alameda County
Public Health Department
The Alameda County Public Health Department (ACPHD) has aligned with the CDC’s guidance for fully vaccinated people. While this new guidance allows fully vaccinated people to participate in some unmasked activities, the COVID-19 is far from over and it is crucial to continue exercising safety by wearing a face covering and practicing social distancing in public.
Don’t know if others are vaxxed? Be safe and wear a mask!
