Updated Event Rules & Guidelines as of 1/15/22
Beginning on Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022, the California Department of Health Guidelines for “mega-events” are changing. On that date, all indoor events with 500 people or outdoor events with 5,000 must follow the guidelines, including but not limited to verifying vaccination status for indoor events. The CDPH guidance does not apply to regularly scheduled classes and course meetings.
At this time, the city of Berkeley Division of Public Health has not updated its vaccination-proof policy that applied to indoor events over 1,000 people. The events page on the coronavirus site will be updated as new information becomes available.
In response to the omicron wave and the increased infectiousness of omicron, it is strongly advised as follows:
-
Consider not serving food and drinks at indoor events, so that attendees can wear their face covering throughout the event. If the venue is small and face-to-face interaction is expected, it is even more advisable not to serve food and drinks.
-
Consider moving events outdoors, or holding planned events remotely, depending upon the nature of the event.
-
Many individuals are choosing to limit their in-person exposure to other people right now, so expect many people to decline event invitations or not attend in-person as planned.
