Last week, the CDC issued new guidance for fully vaccinated individuals, stating that those who are immune against COVID-19 no longer need to wear face masks indoors our outdoors.

Since then, several state and local government agencies have updated their health and safety guidelines to align with the latest CDC guidance, and theme parks like Disney World and Universal Orlando have updated their face mask mandates to reflect these changes.

KRON 4 has just reported that the state of California will wait and keep their public mask mandate in place for now. California Department of Public Health Director Dr. Mark Ghaly stated in a press conference today that the state is “waiting to give time for more people to become fully vaccinated. The state is still working through how to verify who is vaccinated and who isn’t.”

California previously announced that it intends to fully reopen the state and lift most of their mandates on June 15th, where they will then move beyond what they have referred to as their “blueprint” for reopening the state. The announcement today, according to KRON 4, indicates that California is sticking to its June 15th date and that the public may expect the face mask mandate to be lifted at that time.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on the state of California and we will let you know of any updates that come out of their public health mandates!
