Masks and social-distancing measures are still mandatory in the office and in other workplaces across California.
The state’s Division of Occupation Safety and Health decided to keep the policies in effect in work settings, according to the Los Angeles Times. The board postponed a vote to June 3 on a proposal to do away with those requirements as long as everyone in a room was vaccinated.
The state and L.A. County have gradually eased Covid restrictions on retailers and other businesses over the last several weeks and months.
While the CDC has deemed it safe for fully vaccinated individuals to be maskless in most places, the advisory left it to states to make their own policy decisions. Some have lifted all mask measures while others, like California, have taken a more cautious approach.
