California COVID-19 Information

Face Coverings Now Mandatory

Effective June 8, a face covering must be worn when outside and when anyone else other than just members of their Social Bubble is within 30 feet (10 yards). They must wear a face covering when in the workplace except when in a private space or area not regularly used by others. They must wear a face covering when preparing food or other items for sale or distribution to people who are not members of their household or living unit.

When people are approaching each other and likely to pass in the coming seconds, they must put on their face coverings when they are within 30 feet. This 30-foot rule applies whether people are on the sidewalk, in a park, on a path or trail, or in any other outdoor area, and whether they are walking, running, biking, otherwise exercising, standing, or engaged in transportation such as using a motorcycle, skateboard, moped, or scooter.
