A handful of states, including New York and Michigan, already have statewide orders requiring face coverings.
Newsom's order will now require people to wear face coverings in most indoor public settings, including while they wait in line for public transportation services or to enter a business. The requirement does not pertain to people who may be eating at a restaurant while maintaining a 6 foot distance from others or for people who are engaged in recreational activities like swimming, hiking, running and biking, according to the order., a record-high single-day increases in cases as more people get tested. Most of the new cases came from Los Angles County, which reported 2,115.
Newsom allowed restaurants and some stores to reopen in counties that met certain criteria tied to the state of the local outbreak starting May 12. On May 18, Newsom announced that he was relaxing the criteria counties were required to meet in order to move into the next phase of reopening.
