City of Riverside facilities will reopen to the public for in-person services and meetings beginning on Monday, though face coverings will still be required for those who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Except for specific hours due to current staffing levels and with limited restrictions related to face coverings, all city departments are now open to the public for in-person services, including all meetings for City Council, boards and commissions,” said Riverside spokesman Phil Pitchford.
The vast majority of California's COVID-19 restrictions were lifted on Tuesday, but Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the virus is still active, and mask-wearing will continue to be a reality for non-vaccinated residents.
