Tarrant County health officials are now advising masks only for those who are unvaccinated, feeling sick or people with family members who have underlying health risks.
Health officials shared the good news with county leaders at Tuesday's commissioners meeting, but they also talked about concerns over possible upticks during upcoming holidays.
"I’ll be honest, we are very close to getting to a low, we just need that final draft down if you will and hopefully soon we’ll be at a low level of spread. This is all great news it shows we’re at an advanced stage in the pandemic and hopefully soon will be exiting out," Taneja said.The health department is now advising masks only for those who are unvaccinated, feeling sick or people with family members who have underlying health risks.
"As you recall two years ago this thing came up around Spring Break, so it gives me the concerns we’re heading into that timeframe. But I think the pressure is downwards. People need to be wise about how they go about doing things, but currently you’ve got to relax a little bit, because we are at such a reduced risk we can take some strategies off," Taneja said.
