Dr. Noble explained masking makes sense for the most vulnerable populations, saying it makes sense for COVID policies to be directed to those groups. "We saw the delta virus and then the omicron virus," Dr. Dougan told ABC7 News."It's become very much part of a reality. So, I would not be in a hurry to ditch all the public health measures yet."
