Nothing is changed for visitors or employees at this time, Lee said.
Benicia officials will discuss mask policy at Tuesday night s council meeting, though City Manager Erik Upson said it s likely Benicia will abide by state policy.
Whether businesses and city policies change or not, state Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, called Tuesday an important milestone, issuing a statement early Monday, with U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson concurring. The last 15 months have brought extreme hardship and loss, Dodd said. But working together, we now have the virus under control. Your efforts to get vaccinated and practice social distancing have brought us to this point. For those who still have not been vaccinated, please do it now so California can make a full recovery.
A heat advisory is expected to last until nine Monday night. During excessive heat, officials urge people to stay hydrated, wear light, loose-fitting clothes and stay in shaded or air conditioned places if possible.
The most obvious was how sparse the crowds are and that s because there are capacity limits.
Contra Costa County is still in the orange tier, so the water park is allowed to open at 25% capacity and they were fully booked the whole day.
The other difference in rules is masks. But since this is a water park, guests are allowed to keep them off while on the rides and while they re eating.
For some guests, being back at an amusement park and not having to wear masks everywhere is still an adjustment. If feels okay, but it s kind of weird without it. But it s like, fun,” said Redwood City resident Gracie Ruiz.
Former Six Flags employee curates new Vallejo museum exhibit
VALLEJO David Reay arrived in Vallejo after Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
Yet, the Vallejo native is a walking, talking history keeper of the animal park that moved from Redwood City to the home of the Lake Chabot Golf Course in 1986.
Reay, 34, curated the current exhibit at the Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum, “We Got It! The Unlikely Story of Vallejo’s Premier Attraction.”
He did two stints at the park, all working on the rides. He left in 2017 when he was lead operator and supervisor.
Reay contemplated the exhibit five years ago, but it fell through.
The park is also continuing the implementation of extensive safety measures including several new advanced technology systems to protect guests and employees, said a news release. The plan, developed in consultation with infectious disease experts, âsets standards for executing at the highest levels of hygiene and social distancing protocols,â the release said.
For example, contactless thermal imaging will be used to screen temperatures of guests and employees prior to entry; guests over age and all team members will be required to wear face masks and social distancing will be âstrictly enforced.â
And unlike certain Japanese theme parks that had banned screaming due to COVID-19 you can scream all you want, said Six Flags Marketing Supervisor Daniela Mereles.
