Coronavirus ‘silent spreaders’ become a bigger risk as California reopens

it's not a requirement in my city to wear masks if you're just going for walks around the neighborhood, to get mail, or, if you live in an apartment, to go from your apartment unit to your personal garage (if there is one) or to wherever your car is parked. It's only required to wear masks if you're going to be in an essential place of business (such as a grocery store), when interacting with essential workers, and if you're going to be within 6 ft of other people not in the same household as you. I wear a mask at work and when grocery shopping but I don't need to wear a mask if I'm just going down to my garage (located right below my unit) to get something or if I'm just getting mail. Just because you see a neighbor not wearing a mask at the moment doesn't mean they don't wear a mask when around other people.
