Orange County, in which Disneyland is located, has revised its policy regarding face masks.

On May 22nd, an order was issued that required everyone to wear a face covering in public when they were unable to maintain distance between others. This was released in conjunction with the Stage 2 reopening of additional businesses in Orange County.

However, as of June 11th, the face covering rule has been relaxed from a requirement to a suggested measure.

Orange County is also preparing to reopen additional businesses outlined in Stage 3 of the state’s reopening plan, beginning tomorrow. These businesses include bars and breweries, gyms and fitness centers, movie theaters, hotels, museums, and campgrounds.

Just days ago, California’s Orange County met the required criteria and was cleared to transition into a “full stage two” of California’s reopening plan.

This new phase permitted “limited services” including retail with curbside pickup and outdoor museums. But now, counties are able to make their own decisions regarding reopening in-store retail.

Today, the California Department of Public Health announced that counties’ public health departments are now permitted to decide when retail stores can reopen for business.

Although some counties have already transitioned into in-store retail, the announcement applies to the remaining counties. If a county’s public health department approves reopening, stores must follow California’s protocols for retailers. You can read the guide here, which includes temperature checks for employees, frequent sanitation, and social distancing between employees and customers.

The director of the California Department of Public Health stated, “Together, our actions have helped bend the curve and reduce infections in our state. As sectors continue to open with changes that aim to lower risk, remember that COVID-19 is still present in our communities…keeping physical distance, wearing face coverings in public, and washing your hands frequently are more important than ever to help protect yourself and those around you.”
