California removes COVID-19 restrictions

California is fully reopening its economy as a result of fewer COVID-19 cases and increased vaccinations.

According to Governor Gavin Newsom, 72% of Californians have been fully vaccinated.

With the economy reopening, there will no longer be reopening tiers, no more capacity limits, and changes to the mask mandate.

However, counties, cities, and local businesses are still allowed to set it's own capacity limits and rules they see fit.

Those who aren't fully vaccinated, are still required to wear a mask when in indoor settings.

Here is what it will look like for those who are fully vaccinated.

No Mask: restaurant, grocery store, concert or crowded events, gym, place of worship, around unvaccinated friends, around vaccinated friends, college or university, parks.

The coronavirus restrictions lifting more mega events will be making a comeback.

Outdoor live events with more than 10,000 people, are recommending venues to have a verification of vaccination/negative tests in place. Those who aren't vaccinated nor have a negative coronavirus test would still be allowed to enter with a mask. This guideline is only a recommendation from the state, not a requirement.

Indoor venues with 5,000 or more people are required to implement something similar. Except at these indoor events, those who aren't vaccinated or produce a negative coronavirus test can't enter. This is a requirement from the state rather than a recommendation.

Cal/OSHA's stricter existing mask and distance requirements for workers remain in place. It plans to meet on June 17 to touch on whether or not they will change those requirements.
