State of California Aims to Fully Reopen June 15

This week, the State of California announced that, as 20 million vaccine doses have been administered statewide and COVID-19 case rates and hospitalizations have stabilized, the state is “looking to move beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy to fully reopening our economy," according to the California Department of Public Health. “On June 15, all industries across the state can return to usual operations with common-sense risk reduction measures such as masking and vaccinations. We will only progress to this stage if we continue to stay vigilant, keep wearing our masks and getting vaccinated. The state will monitor hospitalization rates, vaccine access, and vaccine efficacy against variants with the option to revisit the June 15 date if needed.”
