Gavin Newsom\u2019s statewide mask mandate, which went into effect Wednesday for most indoor spaces, and is meant to prevent a winter surge of coronavirus cases associated with the new Omicron variant of coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Newsom exempted San Francisco \u2014 where he used to be mayor of the city \u2014 and the surrounding counties, because of the high vaccination rate in the region. But others are just ignoring the mandate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>In Los Angeles County, for example, gyms and restaurants are continuing as before. Podcaster and&nbsp;model Jessica Vaugn tweeted her observations from a party in Hollywood on Thursday night, where patrons were ignoring the new mandate:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.6728395061728\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is in public at the epicenter of the overlords mandating your kids mask at school.
