The new regulation will reinstate the mask mandate after seven straight days of “substantial transmission”, which is 50 or above cases per 100,000 residents.

The mask mandate would go back into effect on Tuesday, November 9.  As of Tuesday, there have been five consecutive days where the case rate has been above 50. The seventh consecutive day would technically be November 5, but there is a four-day grace period to allow numbers to be confirmed with CDC data.
