Many of you have probably heard about the CDC’s recent update regarding fully vaccinated people wearing face coverings. While this is certainly encouraging news, the CDC added clarification that “fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance. Unfortunately, the mandate is still in place by the State Department of Public Health and the OC Health Care Agency. We continue to closely monitor the updates and are able to provide the following information for OC Fair & Event Center. We’ll keep you informed of any further changes:
Face Covering Guidelines
While outdoors:
-
Proper face coverings must be worn by all individuals while outdoors unless alone or in groups of no more than three when ALL are fully vaccinated.
- When in a group of four or more, all must wear proper face coverings even if all individuals are fully vaccinated.
- Face coverings are optional for those fully vaccinated if in a group of 3 or fewer.
While indoors:
- Face coverings are no longer required in individual workspaces where there is an enclosed office or Plexiglas barrier.
- Proper face coverings are required of all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, when leaving individual workspaces and entering common areas such as aisles, restrooms, tack rooms, breakrooms, etc.
- Meetings may take place in individual offices or conference room as long as all in attendance are at least 6 feet apart from each other and everyone is wearing a proper face covering, regardless of vaccination status.
Rest assured, we will continue to monitor and plan for safety measures and operational changes throughout our fairgrounds in accordance with federal, state, and local directives. Please let us know if you have any questions.
