The pandemic is over, but mask mandates are apparently not. Are masks now set to become a seasonal part of American life?
From The Epoch Times. Mask mandates will be returning to several counties in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, starting next month.
Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.
The orders, which were handed down by individual counties, apply mainly to health care workers, although at least two Bay Area counties have extended the requirement to visitors and patients. …
Health officials in counties that have issued upcoming mask mandates said that the face coverings are designed to reduce the spread of COVID-19, influenza, and other respiratory viruses …
Where the Mandates Are Going Into Effect
Alameda County, which encompasses the city of Oakland, issued an order last month that requires staff at health care facilities to wear masks between Nov. 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. …
It warned that any violation of the order’s provision in Alameda County “constitutes an imminent threat and menace to public health, constitutes a public nuisance, and is punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.”
The mandate only applies to staff, not patients or visitors.
Authorities in Contra Costa County issued a similar health order on Sept. 26, requiring health care staff to wear masks for the same time period with similar penalties. It also applies only to staff, not patients. …
Napa County issued an Oct. 1 health order that requires workers in health care facilities to wear masks. It doesn’t apply to visitors and patients.
Going a step further, Santa Clara County, which includes San Jose, will require all people inside health care facilities, including visitors and patients, to wear masks from Nov. 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. Exceptions will be made for children under age 2 and for people with medical issues that make it difficult for them to breathe in a mask or to remove a mask without assistance. …
Outside California
Aside from the Bay Area, it appears no other counties anywhere else in the United States will issue similar mandates at health care facilities.
However, if data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show cases of COVID-19 rising again, other areas may reintroduce mask mandates. Last winter, New York City reimposed a mask mandate at its hospitals as officials cited a rise in cases of the virus. …
How do you feel about these mandates? How are they spurring you to pray?

Dear Great Physician – please warn those wearing masks that they are actually weakening their health. Reveal to them that reducing oxygen and rebreathing carbon dioxide is the opposite of Your design – and is therefore from the prince of destruction. Awaken souls to receive Your Holy Spirit so they can know how to care for their Temples. In Christ’s name, amen!
If the mandates are only required for some people inside the facilities (the staff) and not for others (visitors and patients), then there is not an imminent threat. If there were a real threat, it would be a requirement for everyone. I believe this is being done because they can put pressure on people who don’t want to risk losing their jobs. I am praying for a way to stop the coercion.
Maybe for health workers but not mandated for the general public.
Masks, homelessness, drug abuse, taxes, lawlessness, abandonment….I pray the good people of CA will get out and vote for change. They are being destroyed by the ones who “swore or affirmed that they WILL support and defend the Constitutions of the US and CA against all ENEMIES foreign and DOMESTIC….bearing true faith and allegiance to those Constitutions.” No so help me God but binding affirmations?

Psalm 74, Arise, O God, Defend Your Cause
Dear Heavenly Father, You are God Almighty who stills the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves and the tumult of the nations. Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? It seems as if the leaders of CA have taken their stand against You, the LORD and against Your Anointed One. Your Word says, “that You, The One enthroned in Heaven laughs; You taunt them.
Then You rebuke them in Your anger and terrify them in Your fury: “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.” Yes, You have and we seek Your government not only in CA, but every state of this nation and every nation under Heaven. O True God, rise up and defend Your cause; our cause…. remember how the foolish insult You every hour of the day. Please fulfill Your purpose for CA; show them Your steadfast love O Lord, it endures forever. Please do not forsake the work of Your hands. I ask this in the Overcoming Name of Jesus Christ. Amen
