The Huntington Beach City Council narrowly voted to approve a declaration to ban universal mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the city.

The declaration passed with a 4-3 vote. The meeting adjourned at 2:48 a.m. on Wednesday, September 6.

The new mask and vaccine mandate rules only apply to those who have already tested positive for COVID-19.

Mayor Pro Tem Gracey Van Der Mark introduced the motion at the Huntington Beach City Council meeting on Tuesday night. The approval of the declaration essentially makes Huntington Beach a no mask and no vaccine city.

    HB is such a joke. I mean, nice suburbia, if you don’t talk to your magat, racist neighbors. Great beach area, as long as you stay away during summer and weekends. Nice weather though.

    This happened shortly after 4 council members were disqualified from an ‘idiot contest’ as professionals weren’t allowed

    universal mask and COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the city

    So municipal mask and super flu vaccines are still okay?

    Where I live, there were mandates but no one enforced it and no one cared. During the worst of the pandemic it was odd to see someone with a mask. Some stores would have a sign saying you would not be allowed in unless you had a mask. Then you get in and no one had a mask on, not even employees.

    I wonder what it was like in Huntington Beach.
