This newsletter has been a weekly source of COVID-19 information since the pandemic began last year. Throughout this crisis, we've used it to keep our community informed and help share information about case rates, business closures, testing and vaccines.
As we approach the June 15 reopening date for California, we're getting back to normal in Anaheim. That's a great thing to see, and we're looking forward to putting the COVID-19 nightmare behind us.
Accordingly, this will be our final COVID-19 issue of Andy's Updates. Starting in July, we'll resume our monthly newsletters sharing all things Anaheim, including pertinent COVID-19 updates as well as other city news, from new park projects to community events.
We have positive things to share again, and we're looking forward to doing so.
We thank everyone for doing your part throughout the pandemic to keep Anaheim safe. We got through it together.

Reopening: What happens on June 15 |
The reopening of Anaheim and all of California takes another step forward on Tuesday, June 15, with the retirement of reopening tiers and guidelines.
In short, that means the guidelines we’ve come to live by with respect to social distancing, masking (for those vaccinated) and capacity limits will largely go away. And many of our familiar pre-pandemic routines will return.
Here’s a closer look at what to expect come June 15.
Industries, sectors and businesses
All return to largely normal operations, with some remaining rules for large events.
Mask requirement
Defaults to March 13 Centers for Disease Control guidance, allowing fully vaccinated people to go without masks and social distancing other than in high-risk settings such as air travel, public transit, healthcare and homeless shelters.
Employers will follow mask guidelines set by Cal-OSHA, which are set to be revised again on June 17. And mask requirements will remain unchanged for now in K-12 school settings, day camps and other supervised youth activities.
Capacity limits
No specific capacity requirements remain beyond normal restrictions from fire or other local agencies.
Large events
No capacity limits, no social distancing requirements; vaccine verification or negative test required for indoor events of 5,000 or more, recommended but not required for outdoor events of more than 10,000.
We know the past 15 months have been unprecedented. We're so proud of everyone's efforts to fight COVID, reduce spread and get vaccinated so we could get to where we are today. And to finally celebrate the full reopening of our city and Anaheim's comeback!

Curbside vaccines? It's a thing |
With the closure of the Super PODs in Anaheim and Orange County, vaccine clinics have gone mobile.
Curbside clinics
The county of Orange is hosting small clinics throughout Anaheim in the coming weeks, offering free vaccines to anyone age 12 and older. No appointments are needed, you can just walk right up to get your shot.
Many take place right at the curbside in your neighborhood or your local grocery store. What could be easier?
Find a clinic near you at Othena.com or call (714) 834-2000.
Neighborhood clinics
Anaheim is hosting local clinics as well, including one tomorrow, June 12 at Downtown Anaheim Community Center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You can make an appointment for a Pfizer shot here or just walk in.
In addition, we're partnering with the county to host a weekly vaccine clinic at Brookhurst Community Center, 2271 Crescent Ave., every Monday starting June 21 from 4-7 p.m. You can make an appointment at Othena.com or just walk in. We're offering all three vaccines: Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson.
Next week, Vineyard Church, 5340 E. La Palma Ave., will also host a two-day free vaccine clinic on June 16 and 17 from 8 a.m. to noon, offering Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. No appointment needed.
Angels Baseball clinic
You can even get vaccinated at Angel Stadium of Anaheim!
Angels Baseball is hosting a free vaccination clinic with the Pfizer vaccine at the stadium on June 15 from 3-6 p.m. The first 150 people to get vaccinated get four free MVP field level tickets to the next game.
Make an appointment here.
Vaccines are also widely available at grocery stores, pharmacies and doctor's offices.
Getting vaccinated is easier than ever, and as we get closer to the June 15 reopening of our state, it's even more important to protect yourself and your loved ones from getting sick.
Plus, you could win big!
Three lucky Orange County residents have already won $50,000 and everyone who gets vaccinated is in the running to win $1.5 million on Tuesday thanks to the state's Vax for the Win program.
So don't wait any longer, get vaccinated now.
