Readers said they’ll follow (or not) these COVID rules when mask mandates end

With California ending mask mandates in schools and most pandemic restrictions fading away, we asked readers if they plan to continue with any of the protocols despite lifted mandates.

We got many responses, more than 100 so far. And if you want to provide a response, you can do so here.

Many of the responses indicated a lot of readers plan to continue wearing masks and playing it safe in terms of crowds and public spaces. Often those individuals pointed to family members who remain at risk whether through age, immunocompromised health conditions or young children who remain unvaccinated. Others said they plan to continue out of an abundance of caution and that many of the measures, like wearing masks, didn’t bother them and converyed respect to their friends and neighbors.

Others were tired of the pandemic and the restrictions. Most who responded they would not continue any safety protocols said they haven’t followed them for months.

Read the responses for yourself below. If a response is marked Anonymous it is because the reader provided a name to us but requested it not be published.
