Happy Maskless Eve to my fellow fully vaxed Californians!!!

Freedom comes tomorrow. Can't wait!!!

Everything to know about California's reopening tomorrow, from capacity limits to the mask mandate

"When will I still have to wear a mask?

Starting June 15, California is updating its mask mandate to be different for vaccinated people and unvaccinated people.

Fully vaccinated people will be allowed to do pretty much everything they were doing before the pandemic without needing to wear a mask. That includes grocery shopping, going to the gym, drinking at a bar, seeing a movie or going to church.

There are just a few places where vaccinated people will still need to wear masks, including hospitals, prisons, homeless shelters, during travel (including air travel and mass transit) and while indoors at K-12 schools.

If you're not vaccinated, you'll still be required to wear a mask in all indoor public settings."

3. "CA Is Updating It's Mask Mandate To Be Different For Vaccinated People & Unvaccinated People"

No it isn't.

If you think that Unvaccinated people will follow the new guidelines, and continue to wear masks, I've got a bridge over some swampland to sell you.

California is at 46% Fully Vaccinated. However, tomorrow, I expect that somewhere around 80% will be maskless. And that doesn't even account for the fact that many Vaccinated people, like myself, will be part of the 20% still wearing masks.

It's called the "Honor" system. Unfortunately plenty of Americans have NO HONOR.

It is what it is. I'll still be wearing an N95 mask when around groups of people, because I don't trust my fellow humans, and probably Never Will again.

4. I'll still mask up in grocery stores and restaurants....

out of solidarity with the workers.

[wryter2000]

6. I will, too

And to set an example for the non-vaccinated.

[wryter2000]

5. Thank you!

I think I'll still wear a mask in a lot of places. When my church opens for inside services, I expect we may be asked to mask.

What I want to know is when can I sing in the choir again?

7. Do people actually believe that the unvaccinated will continue to wear their masks?

The anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers are the same people.

I made sure to buy some better masks, N95s and KN95s, to wear as I'm immune compromised.

8. Nope, people will need to wear masks indoors to protect workers Cal/OSHA

"You’ll still need a mask at work after California’s COVID reopening on June 15. Here’s why...

California workers will still need to wear masks and practice social distancing at workplaces for at least a couple of weeks after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s June 15 target to fully reopen the state’s economy.

A California state board on Wednesday withdrew proposed updates to its COVID workplace safety rule, meaning the current regulation — which requires masks to be worn at all times indoors, as well as outdoors if less than six feet away from others — will stay in effect for now. The proposed updates had called for relaxing masking and social distancing requirements and letting workers not wear masks indoors if everyone else around them is fully vaccinated."

The standards board of the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health, commonly called Cal-OSHA, will consider updating its rule again on June 17 to better align with the state and federal guidance. Any update to the rule, if voted on by the board, will go into effect around June 28."


This means that workers inside of stores as well as customers will need to be masked until June 28th when they reassess the situation.

11. Cal/OSHA has no say over customers

only workers.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Really? I wish they would all get on the same page.

"There has been a lot of back and forth on this question. Cal/OSHA first adopted a rule saying workers would need to wear a mask indoors unless every single employee in the room was vaccinated, but then tossed out those rules in a later meeting. Cal/OSHA said it would have more clarity following a meeting slated for June 17."

"On Monday, Newsom said the state will, "We'll be consistent with the (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) guidelines."

9. I Am Making One Big Adjustment

I had purchased a box of Vented N95 masks early on, until they started being banned, since they're designed to protect yourself, rather than those around you.

So tomorrow, I'll begin wearing them again. They're much easier to breathe with, and don't fog up my glasses as much.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

10. I'm still wearing my damn mask...

...at least for most things, for the time being. Neighborhood walks should be OK. Everything else, there will always be a mask ready in my pocket.

[Hekate]

19. Same here. I'm more relaxed, but I've got a mask in my jeans back pocket, & sun shirt pocket, ...

…and will definitely be wearing them in stores. There’s some in the drop drawer of the car, too.

This thing ain’t over yet.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. i am fully vaxxed but will wear my mask during cold , flu, etc. cant take chances

. multiple medical conditions . or mixed in w a group of unknowns .

[PlanetBev]

13. Looking forward to my glasses not steaming up!

Congratulations Bear Republic!

[Ms. Toad]

14. And since it is basd on the honor system -

the restriction that unvaccinated people wear masks is meaningless.

We have to be better than that - at least until everyone is eligible to be vaccinated. We have 15% of the population who CANNOT yet be vaccinated.

[OhioChick]

18. Exactly!

Kids have yet to even be vaccinated not to mention the Delta (#B16172) variant ramping up.

I'll continue to mask up to protect myself as well as others around me.

[hookaleft]

15. Did anyone get the 600$ that Newsome spoke about?? n/t

[Hekate]

20. That's Newsom. No, I didn't pay attention. You could google ca.gov, the state portal, for info.

Good luck.

[liberal_mama]

17. I still am wearing my mask everywhere and will continue to do so until there are no more cases

I'm not going to breathe in virus particles from some unvaccinated Yahoo when I do my grocery shopping.
