The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today released new guidance and made updates to the Blueprint for a Safer Economy, a central component of state's plan to fight COVID-19.
The Blueprint is built off of scientific understanding of the virus, how it is transmitted, and the prevalence of COVID-19 in each county. While the rest of the country is seeing major increases in COVID-19 transmissions, national health experts are pointing to the state's slow and stringent framework – along with the public's adherence to health guidance – as one reason California has yet to see a similar trend. The changes announced today fall in line with the state's approach.
Some changes include:
Theme Parks: Smaller facilities may resume outdoor operations and limited capacity in Tier 3 (Moderate/Orange), while larger parks may do so in Tier 4 (Minimal/Yellow).
Outdoor Stadiums: Live professional sporting events may operate with limited capacity in Tiers 3 and 4 only with pre-assigned tickets to ensure physical distancing of patrons and other modifications.
