On February 28, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Executive Order N-5-22 that includes new updates from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) regarding statewide masking requirements. Effective March 1, 2022,  the masking requirement  by CDPH has been replaced by a strong recommendation that all persons, regardless of vaccination status, continue to mask when indoors in a public setting and/or business. Universal masking remains a requirement in specified high-risk settings.

As temperatures begin to drop, portable outdoor appliances are increasingly being used to heat outdoor areas. Learn more about outdoor heater safety.
