Beyond the Blueprint - California is Open, With Some Restrictions

As of June 15, 2021 California retired the Blueprint for a Safer Economy Guidance. California’s economy is now fully open. Restaurants, shopping malls, movie theaters, and most everyday places are operating as normal – with no capacity limits or physical distancing required. However, everyone is still required to follow masking guidelines in select settings. Some restrictions also still exist for large events.

Masking is Still Required in Some Settings

Masking is required for everyone while indoors if they are not fully vaccinated and is strongly recommended for all others. It is anticipated that as case rates rise, hospitalizations and death rates will also rise in the coming weeks in Fresno County. 

Everyone, regardless of vaccination status, is still required to wear masks on public transportation (buses, trains, planes, etc.) and some other places (like hospitals and shelters) per CDC guidelines.

People who are not fully vaccinated must still wear masks in all indoor public settings (such as, but not limited to, the grocery store and the movie theater) and should wear masks in outdoor crowded settings when that region is experiencing high COVID-19 transmission.

Fully vaccinated people may go unmasked in most settings (except public transportation and places like hospitals and shelters). Workers must follow Cal/OSHA rules. Employers (Cal OSHA Emergency Temporary Standards).

  • Not use self-attestation to verify vaccination status or negative test results
  • Use verification options in the CDPH Vaccine Record Guidelines and Standards
