The Whatcom County Health Department is asking residents to mask indoors as Washington state experiences an ‘unprecedented’ surge in respiratory illness.
In a December 9 press release, the health department recommended that everyone, regardless if they were sick, wear a mask around others indoors. This comes as respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza and Covid-19 are spreading through the community.
The health department also urged people to be updated on their vaccinations, stay at home if they have Covid-19 symptoms and improve indoor air quality.
