Operative words

'28 counties moving back into Tier 1 (Purple/Widespread)'; '94.1 percent of California's population in the most restrictive tier'; 'This change is effective tomorrow'; California strengthened its face-covering guidance to 'require individuals to wear a mask whenever outside their home, with limited exceptions.'

Enforcement

Through the Blueprint order and CDPH guidance (Health and Safety Code sec. 120275 et seq.)

Notes

The winter re-tightening's first step; the gatherings guidance of Nov. 13, 2020 made the three-household outdoor rule mandatory.
