June 15, 2021 -  California Department of Public Health released a new state public health officer order which includes new Face Covering Guidance stating that masks are not required for fully vaccinated individuals, except in the following settings where masks are required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status:

• On public transit[1] (examples: airplanes, ships, ferries, trains, subways, buses, taxis, and ride-shares) and in transportation hubs (examples: airport, bus terminal, marina, train station, seaport or other port, subway station, or any other area that provides transportation)

• Indoors in K-12 schools[2], childcare[3], and other youth settings.

  • Note: This may change as updated K-12 schools guidance is forthcoming, pending updates for K-12 operational guidance from the CDC.

• Healthcare settings[4] (including long term care facilities[5]) 

• State and local correctional facilities and detention centers[6]

• Homeless shelters[7], emergency shelters[8], and cooling centers[9] 

Additionally, masks are required** for unvaccinated individuals in indoor public settings and businesses (examples: retail, restaurants, theaters, family entertainment centers, meetings, state and local government offices serving the public).
For additional information, individuals should refer to CDC Recommendations for Safer Activities (see CDPH Masking Guidance Frequently Asked Questions for more information). 
CalOSHA guidelines continue until new guidelines are adopted. Until that time, current CalOSHA requirements remain in place.
