Riverside County, and the rest of the state, reopened today with capacity limits and physical distancing requirements removed for most businesses and events.
All restaurants, bars, wineries, breweries, distilleries, gyms, movie theaters, museums, zoos, aquariums, and places of worship may operate indoors at full capacity and without physical distancing. Meetings, receptions, and conferences may resume without testing or vaccination requirements.
For large-scale events, defined as 5,000 or more individuals indoors and 10,000 or more outdoors, testing and vaccination requirements may apply.
Statewide mask requirements continue to change. At this time, customers at most businesses are not required to wear masks; however, employees are required to wear masks. Masks are still required for everyone when using public transportation or while at hospitals, schools, childcare settings, long-term care facilities, and homeless shelters.
