Contra Costa County lifts Proof of Vaccine Requirement

Proof Of Vaccine: Contra Costa County Lifts Requirement

Proof of Vaccination is no longer required for businesses such as restaurants and gyms.

Contra Costa County announced Friday that it will lift its requirement that visitors of indoor businesses like restaurants and gyms verify their full vaccination status.

County health officials said they are lifting the requirement because 80 percent of all county residents have now completed their initial vaccination series.

Local cases and hospitalizations are now plummeting from the peak of the omicron variant surge in early January, when the county was confirming upwards of 2,800 cases per day on average.

87.3% of the country’s population have received at least one COVID vaccine dose, and almost 50% of CCC residents (ages 12 and up) have received an additional booster vaccine dose. Individual businesses will still be encouraged and allowed to require proof of vaccination or a negative test if they want.

The county said existing locate and state health orders will remain in effect, including indoor mask requirements and vaccination requirements for worked in health care industries.
