California's department of public health has released new guidelines mandating everyone to use a mask outside of their home. Governor Gavin Newsom will be mandating the use of face masks statewide.
The state will require everyone to wear a face covering when in situations below:
- In line to enter, any indoor public space
- Obtaining services from the healthcare sector
- Waiting for or riding on public transportation or while in a taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle
- Interacting in-person with any member of the public
- Working in any space where food is prepared or packaged for sale or distribution to others
- Walking through common areas, such as hallways, stairways, elevators, and parking facilities
- In any room or enclosed area where other people are present when unable to physically distance.
- While outdoors in public spaces when maintaining a physical distance of six feet from persons who are not members of the same household or residence is not feasible.
