What are the restrictions? Face masks are now optional in most areas of California for those who are fully vaccinated. Please review the CDPH guidelines: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx What's the Covid situation? The Mariposa Public Health Department announced last week that there are now a few cases of the Delta variant in Mariposa with concern that it might spread. It is being closely monitored and the following guidance has been given: CDPH https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/guidance-for-face-coverings.aspx What can visitors to Meherana expect?
