CALIFORNIA lifted the majority of its Covid-19 restrictions and officially reopened today.

But what does that mean for wearing masks? Here is everything you need to know…

Do you have to wear masks in California?

Starting June 15, California updated its mask mandate and created different rules for vaccinated and non-vaccinated people.

Fully vaccinated people are allowed to do almost everything they were doing before the pandemic began without needing to wear a mask.

That includes drinking at a bar, going to church, going to the gym and shopping.

There are just a small few people where vaccinated people need to wear their masks and that includes hospitals, prisons, homeless shelters, and while traveling.

If you are not vaccinated you will be required to wear a mask in all indoor public areas.

How will businesses know whether a person is vaccinated or not?

There is no way for a business to tell if someone is vaccinated or. not.

Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly told ABC News that businesses have three ways of finding out:

• Require the person to wear a mask
• Implement a vaccine verification system across the state
• Allow Californians to "self attest" that they have received the vaccine

Are there travel restrictions in place in California?

It is recommended that people delay non-essential travel until they are fully vaccinated.

However, there are no travel restrictions in place at the moment.

Proof of a negative test is required to enter the United States.
