There are still travel restraints, giving outsiders a reason to stay home.
There are three tiers of capacity limitation in an event or activity: red, orange, and yellow.
California has a wide range of reopenings since its lockdown during COVID-19. It has been 13 months since theme parks, beaches, and sports arenas were open. April Fool's Day marks the return to some normalcy in The Golden State.
Although there are limitations on what Californians can do, two of the state's popular counties, Orange and Los Angeles, welcome back outdoor activities.
California's reopening comes as a surprise for some, considering that President Biden's recent address called on local and state leaders to slow down reopenings. However, the state upholds a mask mandate, social distancing in lines, and facilities are checking attendees' temperatures.
