California is all set to become the first state to implement a brand new safety protocol for large events, announced the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) on Wednesday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new safety protocol will require everyone to submit either proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours when attending events with 1000 or more people. This move will take effect in California for the very first time, starting September 20.<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly revised guidelines were a stricter variation of the original, where such requirements were needed only for events with at least 5000 people in attendance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new rules will also apply to large events including concerts, sports games, and parades. That said, self-attestation will no longer be acceptable. Instead, attendees will need physical proof, either a vaccine card, a QR code, or a photo of their vaccine card.<\/span><\/p>\n
