California fully reopened Tuesday, and with that, residents who are fully vaccinated were able to go into many public places without masks, even indoors.

Some did. But many others decided to keep their masks on.

“Right now, there are just too many unvaccinated people to not ask our customers to wear masks,” said restaurant general manager Jorge Jimenez, 35. “If you look at the area, it’s been hit hard by COVID-19. It doesn’t make sense right now to change.”

“This virus is incredibly dangerous, and I can’t believe people don’t want to understand that,” said storeowner Ken Huo’s . “I know people want to go back to ‘good times,’ but where’s the responsibility? Where’s the accountability?”

Yesterday marked a new era for California: The state at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday rescinded most mask rules for vaccinated people and ended capacity limitations on businesses and venues.

Here’s a rundown of what changed today and in the days to come.

Early in the pandemic, Newsom was praised for his health-first approach to governing.

But muddled policies, school closures and his own damaging missteps frustrated even some of his staunchest supporters and inflamed an angry bloc of voters. latimes.com/california/sto…
