What California’s Reopening Means for OC

California is still on track to reopen its economy on June 15, marking an almost full return to normalcy since the onset of the pandemic last year.

State officials recently provided some guidance for what this reopening will look like, including an end to capacity restrictions for businesses like retailers, gyms, movie theaters, bars, restaurants and places of worship, as well as an end to social distancing.

Those who are fully vaccinated in California will not need to wear a mask in most settings, save for crowded outdoor and indoor events. Some restrictions will also stay in place for large gatherings, such as concerts, sporting events, meetings and conventions.

Vaccine and negative COVID-19 test verifications will be required for indoor events with more than 5,000 attendees and will be recommended for outdoor events with more than 10,000 people.

Angel Stadium will return to full capacity on June 17, but guests will be required to wear a mask unless they provide proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test.

The same goes for theme parks like Disneyland Resort, which fall under the outdoor mega event category. Disneyland and California Adventure, currently operating at 35% capacity, will be able to return to full capacity next month.
