“Los Angeles County has made tremendous progress vaccinating residents, including those in our hard-hit communities. Furthermore, our positivity rate is less than 1% and our case rate remains low.”-Kathryn Barger
Hollywood
Hollywood productions will not be changing their mask rules yet.
Hollywood protocols are also agreed upon as part of labor negotiations. So that’s another hurdle Hollywood will have to clear before unmasking at work.
Florida Theme Parks
The State of Florida is generally ahead of California when it comes to lifting Covid restrictions.
Masks will still be required indoors and on all rides.
Optional masking outdoors may be the direction California theme parks are headed. But, we won’t know for a few weeks at the least.
My Thoughts
The new CDC guidelines make it virtually certain that things will change.
However, change won’t come quickly. Los Angeles, and California as a whole, have been consistently slower than the rest of the country to adjust.
I see no reason this will be any different.
There is also the fact that it would be challenging to have different sets of rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated people. I suspect that is a political minefield many Los Angeles businesses won’t be eager to take on.
Regardless of the slow speed of change, we are still headed in the right direction. We are headed towards an end to this pandemic.
