With Los Angeles County now in the yellow tier of the state's COVID-19 reopening blueprint, Burbank has lifted its separate face-covering order and will follow the Los Angeles County order, the city announced.

The move took effect Thursday.

The LA County order outlines when people can go without a mask in public -- and applies only to those who are fully vaccinated.

According to that order, those who can go without a mask may do so
when outdoors, are vaccinated, and are:

  • Alone;
  • With members of their household;
  • With a small group of people they know are fully vaccinated;
  • With a small group of people who are not fully vaccinated and not at higher risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19.

There are still many requirements for wearing masks indoors and outdoors in LA County. Details are available on a fact sheet here.
