Today is the last day for California to implement the mask order. Starting tomorrow (February 16), California will officially lift the indoor mask order. No mandatory mask wear is required in restaurants, shops, gyms and cinemas.
Latest news! Disneyland also announced that it would cancel the mask order from February 17 and that it would be able to play in Disneyland happily.
Due to the impact of the Omicron epidemic, California re-implemented the mask order from December 15 last year, stipulating that masks must be mandatory in indoor commercial places for one month, and the mask order will be extended by one month on January 12.
Nowadays, the COVID-19 epidemic in California has dropped significantly, so there is no need to extend the mandatory mask order. It is just requiring unvaccinated people to wear masks indoors. For those who have been vaccinated, it is just "recommended" to wear masks.
However, mask orders are still maintained in some places, namely buses, subways, train stations, hospitals, homeless shelters and other gathering areas, and masks are still required to be mandatory.
In addition, teachers and students in schools still have to force masks to wear. California officials said that they will issue a re-evaluation announcement on February 28. If the risk is considered to be reduced, the school's mask order will be lifted from March 1.
Let me revisit the specific requirements of the new regulations below -
No mask required:
