The state of California lifted its COVID-19 indoor mask requirement for vaccinated people, but some say they’re keeping the face coverings on at certain places.
California's indoor mask mandate expired for people who have been vaccinated -- but not in Los Angeles County.
"I'm vaccinated, and it's nice not having to wear the masks," Newbury Park resident Tim Evrist said."Just enjoy the fresh air and still keep the distance, whatever that they require of us, but it feels real good. "I don't like wearing masks," Grant Richter said."I hate it so much. When I'm in the gym, especially, because it gets all sweaty and stuff. I think it's great that we don't have to wear masks anymore."
"I wasn't sure what the [store sign] said when we were walking in, but it said we still have to wear a mask, and I'm fine with it," Charlene Puyda said."When I go in the market ... I'd rather have it on," Craig Meakins said."I'll probably wear the mask for the next month or so. I don't care what they say."
