California is making a bold move this week as it officially reopens its economy on June 15, ending most of the COVID-19 restrictions that shaped life for over a year. 🎉 The state, home to nearly 40 million people, has seen positivity rates drop below 1% and over 70% of adults partially vaccinated—a milestone that’s fueling optimism among businesses and residents alike.
From packed sports stadiums to mask-free concerts, the Golden State is ready to roar back to life. But what stays? Indoor mega-events like concerts will still require vaccine verification or negative tests, and masks remain mandatory in schools and healthcare settings. 💉
Economists are watching closely: California’s GDP, the world’s fifth-largest, could see a tourism and hospitality boom as travel resumes. ✈️ Local shop owner Maria Lopez told us, \"This feels like a fresh start. We’re hiring again—finally.\"
While experts urge caution amid new variants, the mood is unmistakable: California’s comeback era has begun. 🌴
