Bay Area health officers Wednesday said they will follow the state’s lead next week and grant vaccinated people the freedom to unmask indoors in many settings, but Santa Clara County will keep its order in place for several more weeks, until case rates fall further.

The counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, San Benito, Solano, Sonoma, and the city of Berkeley said that along with the state, they will lift universal mask requirements for the vaccinated in most indoor public spaces beginning Wednesday, Feb. 16.
