Oakland Vice Mayor Rebecca Kaplan is leading an effort to restore the requirement to wear a facial covering inside city facilities, which would provide equitable access to all and protect the public's health, Kaplan's office said Tuesday.

Restoring the requirements, Kaplan and community members say, will protect the health of the community while the flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus is spreading and placing stress on the health care system.

"I am on immunosuppressive treatments and my doctors have told me that my entire family needs to avoid indoor spaces when masks are not required because the health risks are too high," said Beth Kenny, member of the advocacy group Senior and Disability Action."People should not have to go against medical advice to access their city government or get a book out of the library."

Schaaf last month revoked the requirement by executive order. Kaplan's resolution would ask city officials to provide KN-95, N-95 or KF-94 masks to people who want to enter public facilities. "Wearing quality masks helps protect both ourselves and one another from the dangerous spread of respiratory diseases -- and helps keep spaces accessible while protecting the long term health of the public," Kaplan said in a statement."With the growing dangers of long term harms from disease exposure and the importance of having public facilities be accessible for our communities, it is important to have masks.
