Updated Mask Mandate
California will keep the existing mask guidance in place until Tues, June 15, when we will implement the CDC’s guidelines around masking to allow fully vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. This four-week period will give Californians time to prepare for this change while they continue in their efforts to receive vaccination.
