California has a blueprint for reducing COVID-19 in the state with revised criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions on activities. Every county in California is assigned to a tier based on its test positivity and adjusted case rate. Reopening will follow a phased approach, based on county tier assignments. The state's stay-at-home orders were lifted on January 25 and the state returned to the original county-based system, but currently, almost all of the state's population is in the highest-risk tier. California Blueprint for a Safer Economy Plan.
It’s now required that everyone in California must wear a mask or face covering when outside of their home, with limited exceptions, including when in a car alone or with members of the same household, or for children under age two. California Guidance for Facial Coverings.
California has lifted its stay-at-home order, but local orders in some Bay Area counties restrict travel activities. In most counties, hotels can accept leisure travelers and restaurants can serve diners outdoors. California public health officials have recommended that Californians avoid non-essential travel outside the state or more than 120 miles from their home. Visitors from out of state are discouraged from coming to California for non-essential purposes. Anyone arriving from out of state, including California residents, are encouraged to quarantine for 10 days after entering or returning to California. San Francisco and Santa Clara counties have ordered a mandatory, 10-day quarantine for people coming from outside their region. Visit California Travel Alerts.
Guidance and restrictions on gatherings depends on the county, based on the California's Blueprint for a Safer Economy Plan. As an example, currently in Los Angeles County, indoor private gatherings are banned; outdoor private gatherings are allowed but must be limited to two hours and be no more than three households. Gathering Restrictions by County.
Opening guidelines depend entirely on the county and the tier. In red-tier counties, restaurants can resume indoor dining at 25 percent capacity or 100 patrons, whichever is fewer. For counties in the orange tier, bars and breweries that don’t serve food are among businesses that can reopen for outdoor service. Outdoor dining is now permitted state-wide.
