As COVID-19 cases, test positivity rates, and hospitalizations continue to decrease, the County has changed its indoor masking requirement. Culver City businesses may now to choose to allow vaccinated people to remove masks indoors if the businesses meets the requirements outlined by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The options for businesses are summarized below:
Option 1: A business may allow fully vaccinated customers and fully vaccinated workers to remove their masks indoors. Either proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result is required from all customers and onsite workers.
Option 2: A business may allow only fully vaccinated customers to remove their masks indoors, while all workers continue to wear well-fitting masks. COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result is required from all customers.
A business may choose to continue to require masks indoors for everyone, vaccinated and unvaccinated.
The County’s Order includes business categories that are not included in the City's Vaccine Verification Requirement (38th Supplement to Public Order), which remains in effect. Businesses in these business categories may choose to begin vaccine verification in order to pursue Option 1 or Option 2, above, but they are not required to by the City. If these types of businesses choose to not begin verifying vaccination status, everyone must continue to be required to wear masks indoors.
