Masking is once again required to enter city facilities in Oakland following a vote by the City Council Tuesday evening. The mandate applies to all people ages 6 and older.
The resolution passed with seven yes votes following a motion by Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan and a second by Councilmember Dan Kalb.
"I am on immunosuppressive treatments and my doctors have told me that my entire family needs to avoid indoor spaces when masks are not required because the health risks are too high," said Beth Kenny, member of Senior and Disability Action."People should not have to go against medical advice to access their city government or get a book out of the library.
Councilmembers Tuesday asked City Administrator Ed Reiskin to have his staff to determine the cost of providing masks for people entering city facilities through April 1, 2023. If required, Reiskin will bring forth a proposal for a budget amendment to cover the costs.
