As of June 18th, California residents must wear a face mask where social distancing is not possible. After much research on COVID-19, we have learned that many people are asymptomatic and thus, wearing a mask can prevent more cases within our communities.

The order says we must wear face masks indoors in public places, in lines at stores, while riding an Uber or Lyft, and a few other places. You can see the full order here.

Please make sure to read the full order and stay informed. Let’s do our part and protect one another!
