CA to stop requiring vaccine proof, negative tests at concerts, other large indoor events

in Around California

California will lift COVID-19 vaccine and negative test requirements for large indoor events like concerts and games starting April 1, state officials announced last week.

in Around California

If this were a normal spring, April and May would bring some of the bigger festivals and events of the year, with people gathering across communities to celebrate.
