BREAKING: Dr. Mark Ghaly confirms that California's mask mandate will NOT be lifted on June 15 at K-12 schools when students/staff are indoors.
Unvaccinated workers will also have to keep wearing masks at businesses, Ghaly says.
Ghaly says businesses aren't required to have someone at the door checking customers' vaccine status; instead, they can just post requirements on a paper near the door, and it puts the burden on customers to self-attest their vaccine status.
Ghaly says it's up to Cal/OSHA to determine whether everyone in a business would have to wear a mask if one person in that business is unvaccinated.
"I don't want to get ahead of that," he says. "I don't want to predispose what Cal/OSHA and their board is gonna decide."

"We continue to see evidence of the strong protection from vaccines" against the virus, Ghaly says, when asked if Cal/OSHA's guidance could actually lower public trust in the efficacy of vaccines
"Is it appropriate to expect that N95 masks will have a place in some workplaces in the future?" Ghaly asks. "Absolutely." I.e. for high-risk workplaces, or maybe in health care/corrections settings.
CDPH mask guidance: General settings (but also schools, child care settings)
Cal/OSHA mask guidance: Workplaces, employers.
