BACP/CDPH Mask Webinar 8/19/21

Hello Friends and Colleagues,

We hope you are hangin’ in there. Let’s get right to it from today’s BACP and CDPH webinar

You can watch the full replay here on their You Tube Page or attend the seminar tomorrow at 1pm.

Starting Friday, everyone over the age of 2 needs to have a mask on while inside in public spaces. If they are at a restaurant, as was previously the regulation, masks can be removed while eating or drinking. But worn at all other times

Masks are required for indoor events. Yep, that has been confirmed. Event Venues are considered public spaces, even if events are private, e.g. weddings, birthday parties, work related meetings/outings.

➡️ Therefore masks are required at weddings and events if they are indoor events. 

 At places of worship indoors, a mask is required. Essentially, a mask is required on at all times. Choirs while singing can remove their masks to sing. 

During a reception, party, etc with love entertainment, performers, singers and actors can remove their mask when performing. They should put their masks on when not performing. For live bands with singers, the performers are allowed to take masks off when performing.

Businesses are asked to post details about the mask mandate. Signage can be downloaded here.

Cocktail receptions where guests are standing are permitted. Guests will just remove their masks while eating or drinking. But moving between tables or areas, masks are required.

Face masks are required on dance floors.

Even if all attendees of a wedding are vaccinated or have a negative test they are STILL REQUIRED to wear masks.

Enforcement of Mandate: The BACP, Department of Public Health and the police will be enforcing this new mandate. Fines could be written for those not enforcing the mask mandate. 

Thank you! Stay safe, stay well and wear your mask!
