Some Californians "Not Ready" As State Lifts Restrictions

California has lifted its COVID-19 restrictions, ending over a year of mandates. The state, which was the first to shut down in March 2020, is now among the last to lift its mandates. Fully vaccinated individuals can go mask-free, but businesses can set their own rules. The pandemic severely impacted California's economy, with significant job losses and a decline in business activity. Vaccination efforts have led to low infection rates, but disparities remain among different communities. Some restrictions persist, especially for unvaccinated individuals and in certain public settings. Businesses face challenges in implementing new guidelines, leading to public confusion.
