LOS ANGELES—All attendees at California indoor events with more than 1,000 people in attendance will have to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the event, according to rules announced Aug. 18 by the state Department of Public Health.
The state previously allowed people to simply “self-attest” to being vaccinated or having tested negative, but the new rules—which take effect Sept. 20—require attendees to show proof. The previous guidelines also applied only to events with 5,000 or more people, but the new rules lower the threshold to 1,000.
