California Dreaming (or Not): The COVID Conundrum
So, you're planning a trip to the Golden State, huh? Good for you! Sun, surf, and silicon - what's not to love? But before you start booking flights and packing your shades, let's talk about the elephant in the room: COVID restrictions.
Is California Still Masked Up?
Remember those days when masks were as essential as your phone? Well, the good news is, those days are mostly behind us. California has largely lifted its statewide mask mandates. But don't get too excited just yet. Local governments can still impose their own rules, so it's always a good idea to check before you head out. And let's be honest, a mask doesn't hurt anyone (except maybe your lipstick game).
Vaccine Passports: The New Hot Ticket?
You might have heard rumors about vaccine passports being required for entry to certain places. Let's clear this up: California doesn't have a statewide vaccine passport system. But some businesses or events might request proof of vaccination. It's always a good idea to check the specific requirements of the places you plan to visit.
Social Distancing: Still a Thing?
Ah, social distancing. The art of avoiding human contact without being a total hermit. While the strict rules have eased, it's still a good idea to practice some common courtesy. If you're in a crowded place, give people a little space. And if you're feeling under the weather, stay home and binge-watch your favorite show.
