        Business Guidelines & Resources:

        • As of June 15th, the state reopened and moved beyond the Blueprint for a Safer Economy.
            • The purple, red, orange and yellow tiers that helped us manage COVID-19 in our counties have ended. All sectors listed in the Blueprint Activities and Business Tiers Chart may return to usual operations.
            • This does not apply to schools, health care settings, and some other public settings. Some public health measures will also remain for mega events (5,000+ people indoors or 10,000+ outdoors).
            • Masks are still required indoors for unvaccinated people, and employees are still required to follow CalOSHA’s masking guidelines.
            • Employers are subject to the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards, if applicable.
            • California will keep a close eye on vaccination and infection rates over the summer and keep these guidelines in place until at least October 1, 2021. As the state continues to monitor COVID-19 and its many variants, CDPH strongly encourages the following general public health recommendations:
              • Everyone should get vaccinated when eligible.
              • Indoor spaces should be well ventilated (i.e., open all windows and doors to increase natural air flow), following current CDPH and CalOSHA guidance.
              • Everyone should sign up for CA Notify as added protection for themselves and the community to receive alerts when they have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.
