After almost three years and more than 100,000 deaths related to COVID-19, California ends its State of Emergency on Tuesday at midnight.
Back on March 4th, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) announced in a news conference (carried by every local TV network), that California was declared to be in a “State of Emergency.” The governor made the declaration in concern over the state’s first COVID-19 related death which became public.

Critics of Newsom have said that Tuesday night’s transition will probably happen without any substantial public notice.
NEW: CA’s case rate has decreased by 65% since our Omicron peak. Our hospitalizations have stabilized across the state.
Our statewide indoor mask requirement will expire on 2/15.
Unvaccinated people will still need to wear masks indoors.
Get vaccinated. Get boosted.
