Oakland to consider dropping proof of vaccination requirement, but require masks at mega-events COVID19
, one of the last remaining Bay Area cities to still require customers to show proof of vaccination in most businesses, may do away with that requirement in the coming weeks.requirement that's in place for most indoor settings, such as restaurants, bars, gyms, and other businesses. At the same time, the revised ordinance would impose a mask mandate at indoor facilities with more than 1,000 people.
"We're not giving up on getting more people vaccinated," Kalb said. "We're not giving up on reducing the spread. But we're trying to do what's most sensible." The ordinance would also enforce masks at mega-events in Oakland that are larger than 1,000 people. It's a bolder directive than Alameda County's gentler wording, which "strongly recommends," that people wear masks at such events.
