Toledo-Lucas County Health Department issues new mask guidance to slow COVID-19 spread

Fully vaccinated people should wear a mask indoors in areas where spread is high.

TOLEDO, Ohio — The Toledo-Lucas County Health Department is issuing new mask guidance for all people regardless of vaccination status to decrease spread of COVID-19.

The new guidance is in line with changes the CDC made earlier this week. The health department is recommending masks for everyone in the following situations:

  • Health care settings
  • K-12 schools, including buses
  • Places where masks are required by local or tribal laws, rules and regulations, including businesses and workplaces
  • Areas with substantial to high community transmission
  • Correctional and detention facilities, and homeless shelters
  • All forms of public transportation

In areas with substantial to high transmission, the CDC recommends wearing a mask in all public indoor settings.
