California has lifted all government-enforced COVID protocols, with the state no longer requiring medical professionals to wear masks, allowing local management to apply their own protocols. The lifting of mandates came into effect on April 3.

Californians can be mask free inside any health care setting, including high-risk locations, elderly care centers, places that serve people experiencing homelessness, and correctional facilities, as stated by the new guidelines.
