“We are going to move beyond sector-by-sector capacity limits,” observed Ghaly, “and making sure that as many Californians as possible get vaccinated and mask wearing.”Ī press release from the governor’s office later stated about the June 15 shift, “All sectors listed in the current Blueprint for a Safer Economy grid may return to usual operations in compliance with Cal/OSHA requirements and with common-sense public health policies in place, such as required masking, testing and with vaccinations encouraged. In a sense, masks and vaccinations will be replacing the specific sector limitations and become the entire scope of preventative measures imposed by the state. “It’s the most powerful non-pharmaceutical intervention we can have,” affirmed Newsom. “We still see masking as a key protective feature,” said Ghaly, noting that there is “no timeline for ending the mask requirement.” The state’s mask mandate, however, will remain. If the progress continues, capacity restrictions on movie theaters, concert venues and (assumingely) theme parks will be eliminated. “This is really a race: These vaccines against the variants,” said Newsom. Tuesday’s announcement is based on the assumption that vaccine supplies continue to increase and Californians will continue to get them in increasing numbers. Newsom noted that, as cases rise across the country, California’s numbers are declining and the state has “the lowest case rates, positivity rates in America.” The governor also noted the state has passed 20 million vaccine doses delivered, more than all but five countries worldwide.
