“No, only in those settings that are indoor… Only in those massively large settings where people from around the world, not just around the country, are convening and where people are mixing in real dense spaces,” Newsom said. “Otherwise we’ll make guidance, recommendations but no mandates.”

This news comes as California continues to see low COVID-19 rates. California has the second-lowest seven-day case rate in the country, reporting 30.2 new cases per 100,000 people, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The vaccine rollout is well underway with 45.5% of residents 16 and over fully vaccinated, according to the state. 

Newsom first introduced the mask mandate in June 2020. Last month, the state relaxed the guidelines to align with new guidance from the CDC for vaccinated individuals.

The California Department of Public Health guidelines call for face coverings in “indoor settings outside of one’s home,” like public transportation, regardless of vaccination status. Unvaccinated individuals are required to wear masks outdoors “any time physical distancing cannot be maintained.”  Fully vaccinated people don’t need to wear masks outdoors “except when attending crowded outdoor events.”

On June 15, the color-coded tier system that restricts business openings based on county case rates will be eliminated. Newsom has said the economy will fully reopening if the state continues to see low case and hospitalizations rates.
